Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
We are pleased to recognize National Healthy Aging Month, a time dedicated to celebrating and enhancing the well-being of our seniors. This month reminds us of the importance of ensuring that our older adults have access to the resources and support they need to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
Healthy aging encompasses not just physical health but also mental and emotional well-being, social connections, and access to essential services. Our seniors have made invaluable contributions to our community, and it is our responsibility to ensure they receive the care and support they deserve.
We are excited to announce that, throughout September, we are partnering with Grow NYC and the New York City Department for the Aging to host special pop-ups at farmers markets across the borough. These events will provide seniors with valuable information about health resources, wellness tips, and community services in a welcoming and accessible environment.
I encourage everyone to visit these pop-ups, check in on the older adults in their lives, and explore how we can all contribute to their well-being. Whether it’s by sharing information, encouraging regular health check-ups, or simply offering companionship, every effort counts.
Let’s come together to support our seniors and celebrate their vital role in our community.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.
In partnership,
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
