“Adults are living longer and enjoying active lifestyles,” said Tara-Groves Taylor, CEO of Community Healthcaring Kitchener-Waterloo. “One way that we care for our older adults is by giving them the information they need to be active, prevent illness and stay safe. Today with our community partners, we will share valuable insight and tips on relevant topics to promote health and wellness and build community.”
