The Great Reconnection: AgeGuide Celebrates 50 Years
This year marks AgeGuide’s 50th anniversary since being established in 1973 as part of the Older Americans Act. All year long, the Age Guide podcast will highlight the impact of various Older Americans Act funded services and the people who benefit from them. Across the region and the nation we’re seeing a movement toward “The Great Reconnection.” This emphasis on reconnecting with others in this post pandemic time positively impacts older adults, caregivers and all of us who are aging. It is about rekindling relationships and a renewed focus on building community. In this episode we sit down with Marla Fronczak, CEO of AgeGuide, to kick off our 50th anniversary series with a look back at where it all started and a look forward to where aging services are headed.
