Healthy Aging Research Released!
|
| On November 6th, United Way released its latest population-level research on seniors in the Lehigh Valley! This report was presented by Professor Lanethea Mathews-Schultz of the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium. The report discusses the numbers of seniors in the Lehigh Valley who are experiencing difficulties with activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), chronic disease and falls. This information is vital to grant writers and people developing programs for seniors. You can download a copy of the latest report on seniors in the Lehigh Valley here. |
