The Fairbanks community faces challenges as it navigates the aging process. To address these challenges, Foundation Health Partners and the Fairbanks North Star Borough are hosting a summit focused on creating an age-friendly environment. The summit, which takes place on Thursday and Friday, will examine aspects such as housing, transportation, access to healthcare, and recreational opportunities.
The summit kicks off with a luncheon on Thursday and continues with a full day of activities and demonstrations at the Carlson Center on Friday. The event is aimed at promoting healthy and active living for individuals over 50, with workshops and speakers covering topics like arthritis management and dementia care. This summit highlights the level of volunteerism and care for the aging population in the Fairbanks community.
Foundation Health Partners’ Community Partnership Manager, Carol Anthony, expressed pride in the community’s dedication to supporting older adults. “This event showcases our commitment to creating a supportive environment for individuals as they age,” she said.
