What to Expect When You’re Expecting (to Get Older)
It seems that there is a deluge of detailed information that comes our way about the physiological changes we can expect as we develop in the womb, in infancy, childhood, the teen years, young adulthood and midlife. And then we hit old age…and that stream pretty much becomes a trickle. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the bodily changes that are common as we reach our retirement years and beyond. Our guest speaker is the decidedly non-medically-expert (but hopefully informative and engaging) Christie John, Programs Administrator from Care Partners.
