About Aging Like a Pro

What started as a local seminar series in libraries, senior centers, and community hubs has grown into a powerful initiative tackling social isolation and empowering individuals with tools for healthy aging and brain health. While we can’t change our genes, we can take control of environmental and lifestyle factors to lower the risk of memory decline and even Alzheimer’s disease. Tune in as we explore actionable strategies, expert insights, and inspiring stories to help you age like a pro! We wish to thank the Ansin Foundation, the Community Foundation of Broward, the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute at the University of Miami and the McKnight Brain Research Foundation for their support.
