SENIOR HEALTHWISE LECTURE SERIES

  • Everyone is the age of their heart. ~Guatemalan Proverb

 

 

Senior HealthWISE offers two lectures each month, on Thursdays from 11- 12 noon in the main hospital building. Speakers range from MGH clinicians to members of community organizations. All topics are chosen specifically for older adults. Most lectures include handouts and all have time for questions and discussion.

All lectures are free of charge and are open to the community. Suggestions for future topics are always welcome.
