FOCUS

Health Challenges Faced by Older Adults

SPOTLIGHT

Harvest Health: A Chronic Disease Self-Management Program
An AoA grant to the Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging (PCA) focuses on effective self-management of chronic conditions, which is a key to avoiding the disability that these conditions can cause.
