Encouraging Healthy Lifestyles
ARC’s two-fold approach to improving older adult health utilizes proven strategies that work hand-in-hand to address both individual and community health, contributing to Lifelong Communities for all. There are many factors that affect one's health, including healthy behaviors, environmental surroundings, and the socio-economic factors of one’s community.
| Individuals are encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyles, including those supported by social and personal enrichment programs designed to help older adults stay engaged and healthy. |
|
Communities that encourage and support healthy residents provide access to activity, healthy foods, and health care – important goals of ARC’s Lifelong Communities Initiative. |
|
Partnerships help connect those who are interested in collaborating to promote healthy lifestyles.
