A place where everyone feels included and engaged. In collaboration with AARP and the World Health Organization, we at Innovations in Aging Collaborative work to make Colorado Springs inclusive and accessible, a city where all citizens may live a healthy, active and engaged life, regardless of age. Join us to learn more about this exciting initiative, as well as the new Age Friendly Business certification from the Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado and the Age Friendly Employer Certification from Employers Council.
