In the past several years, the central Delaware area has experienced a population growth of adults over age 55. Bayhealth recognized our community's quest for vital aging and embraced the effort to provide the community with the tools to empower members to stay as healthy and well as possible. Programs and screenings explore components of vital aging such as family and friends, health, spirit, use of skills, new learning and community.
