Thanks to a $75,000 grant awarded by the Saint John's Health Center Foundation Community Impact Fund, Wise & Healthy Aging will be able to co-locate an additional part-time Case Manager at the Santa Monica Fire Department (SMFD). Our Case Managers co-located at the SMFD assist clients referred by SMFD and when necessary, responds with SMFD Emergency Medical Services to help get the person connected to the right resources and services, helping to avoid overdependence on 911, and local Emergency Departments. The grant will also fund community education on topics such as fall prevention and medication management.

“We are grateful to be a recipient of the Saint John’s Health Center Foundation Community Impact Fund grant," said Molly Davies, LCSW, President and CEO of Wise & Healthy Aging. "This funding will help better assist with connecting vulnerable older adults to services like medical care, mental health services, social supports, and safe and accessible housing that increases stability to help prevent homelessness."

With many adventures to choose from, we'd like to highlight a couple of trips coming up that won't take you too, too far from home! Take in new sights, learn interesting things, make friends along the way! What are you waiting for!
