Tracy from Pike County Aging briefed commissioners on the 12th annual Elder Justice Day and two fall senior expos, encouraging reservations and noting transportation support.
Tracy said the Aug. 25 event at the new Bushkill Center for Active Adults will feature more than 30 participating agencies and services, including presentations on legal topics, blood-pressure checks by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and vendors such as home-health and hospice agencies, the American Red Cross and local nursing homes. Tracy told the board that attendees should register through the Aging office and that space is limited to about 110 people; the last day to register is Aug. 18.
Commissioners asked about past locations and attendance; Tracy said the event has been held at local churches, senior centers and that the new Bushkill center is being promoted this year. Transportation through county services will be available for seniors who register.
