Healthy Aging
Our Healthy Aging initiative recognizes that, as we all live longer and healthier lives, we can tap into our collective experiences to create innovative solutions for the challenges that come – individually and systemically – as we get older. With that in mind, we have created a strong network of community members, town governments, and service providers, working together to create a community where we will all have what we need as we grow up and grow older in our coastal neighborhoods.
​
As exciting new opportunities on issues of healthy aging continue to develop, Healthy Peninsula will continue to cultivate the power of collaboration to create healthy, informed, and livable communities for all.

Healthy Aging Coordinator
Greetings! I am grateful to be working in the field of healthy aging within the communities of the Blue Hill Peninsula/ Deer Isle/Stonington. Supporting those in our communities age safely and well, by partnering with other organizations and collaborating with local volunteers, will fulfill my needs for connection, creativity, contribution and fun! Please drop me a note so I can get to know you.
Age-Friendly Coastal Communities is a regional initiative, affiliated with the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities and the World Health Organization, which covers the nine towns of the Blue Hill Peninsula (Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry) and the island towns of Deer Isle and Stonington. Healthy Peninsula is the coordinating agency for this community collaboration.........
