The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the challenges of connecting older adults to resources, information and each other. These connection challenges existed before the pandemic and will continue into the future.

The meeting guest will be a representative from the Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives (PEARLS) initiative.
