As a bold community-focused initiative, Saint John’s launched a Symposium On Aging in 2017 with the explicit purpose of advancing a transformative paradigm for aging and countering poverty and discrimination. From that inaugural event, six additional symposia underscored two important elements:

• New knowledge from leaders across an interdisciplinary spectrum from medical science to psycho-social considerations
• The humanities, spirituality and the arts and a diverse, interactive format for lifelong learning

Aging services professionals, concerned citizens of the community and older adults are invited by Saint John’s to attend the annual Symposium on Aging at no cost. The Symposium is an opportunity to share ideas, research outcomes and lessons learned to strengthen resilience and celebrate aging.
