For more than 160 years, NYAM has been a major thought leader in the area of urban health, emerging as a resource for regional, national, and international print and broadcast media outlets that cover critical issues related to aging, disease prevention and health promotion, and health disparities.
WCBS Radio recently featured a story on NYAM’s Age-friendly College Link (http://agefriendlycollege.org), the nation’s first searchable online database that empowers older adults to browse, search, compare, and connect with educational opportunities at dozens of local colleges and universities.
A new online database is designed to encourage older adults to keep learning. The searchable database is called Age-friendly NYC College.
Developing 'age-friendly' cities has become increasingly important with places in the UK and abroad starting to develop initiatives to improve the quality of life for older people living in cities.
