Seniors today are living longer, healthier, and more active lives than ever before, and DART is excited to host the Older Americans Health Fair to help seniors connect with community organizations, services, and people who can assist them in living as independently as possible. The fair offers a variety of resources for the community, including those who want to age in place, transition to a community, those on a limited income, and those with disposable income.


 

It is a great opportunity for seniors to gather in one room, have fun, learn about activities, and discover valuable resources that can help them to age in place. Socialization and resources are critical for seniors to maintain their independence, and the DART health fair provides just that.

 

DART is a significant part of the lives of seniors, as it allows them to be on the go when they need to be and want to be. Public transportation is critical for our neediest clients who would not be able to get to us without it.

 

The Older Americans Health Fair is a great opportunity for people to understand what is going on in their community and for DART to learn how we can be a better partner with them as we provide transportation services. We want to be a part of their challenges and opportunities and provide them with the assistance they need.
