Public Lecture: Prevention for Healthy Aging


Aging is a natural part of life. But how can we maintain our health, independence, and quality of life as the years go by? What steps can we take today to stay fit and age well tomorrow?

Because prevention also means giving ourselves the best chance to age well, our facilities in the Lake Geneva region are joining forces to host a conference dedicated to the keys to healthy aging.
