TweetAn innovative approach to the aging process
The concept of innovation often conjures fantastical images of futuristic electronic devices and flying cars, but innovation occurs beyond the scope of technology.
With advances in modern medicine and significant societal shifts, how we age has evolved over the last couple of decades. Yet one constant remains: we all still age. As Keiro evaluates both the traditional and modern challenges presented with aging, we are continually seeking out innovative approaches and solutions.
Keiro is proud to present its annual conference, Aging into Tomorrow. This one-day gathering for baby boomers, academics, caregivers, and older adults alike, highlights an innovative approach to aging and the ways we can use forward-thinking to plan for our futures today.
Thank you for attending Keiro Conference!
