Join other healthcare and aging services professionals at this annual geriatric educational event. The focus this year will be on one of the "4Ms": Mobility (ensuring that older adults move safely every day to maintain function and do what matters) of an Age-Friendly Health System. This is planned to be a hybrid program -- participants can attend on-site at MAHEC in Asheville, NC, or via live webinar. If needed for COVID-19 safety, this program may have to pivot to a live webinar-only format.
