Healthy Aging Alberta 3 Year Report
In the span of three years, Healthy Aging Alberta has made meaningful progress toward building a sector of community-based seniors-serving organizations. This report presents an overview of Healthy Aging Alberta's major functions, milestones, community impacts, and vision for the future.
From the first organized conversations in 2019 to the upcoming Healthy Aging Summit in October 2023, Healthy Aging Alberta has achieved significant growth toward increasing capacity, infrastructure, and governance for a formal sector. Through networking, collaboration, and sharing, organizations supporting older adults are seeing the benefits of an integrated sector.
Healthy Aging Alberta is encouraged by our advancement in improving collective action to address issues and priorities affecting older adults. With a focus on amplifying the voice, visibility, and value of community-based seniors-serving organizations and the work they do, Healthy Aging Alberta has laid a strong foundation for sustained sector growth and innovation.
As Healthy Aging Alberta continues to evolve, future phases aim to promote further investment in non-medical community-based services for older adults and social prescribing programming as well as a regional approach to unified sector development and capacity-building.
With a focus on the social determinants of healthy aging, Healthy Aging Alberta is interlacing the strong network of wellness that exists in rural and urban communities across the province into a tapestry of empowerment, support, and overall well-being for older Albertans.
