Aging-in-Place Discussion Group
What: Presentation on Medical Harm by Victor Heinrich. As our
citizens grow older, many of them experience increased interactions
with the medical establishment. Victor, who is very active in the Senior
Tar Heel Legislature and several state and local boards and committees
on aging, will explain what we need to know and do to protect ourselves
from physical and financial triplications that can sometimes come
with the territory. Following Victor s presentation, there will be a brief
exchange on our plans for the new discussion group and an exchange of
information on the latest developments with the coronavirus outbreak.
When: April 16,2020, 3 p.m.
Where: Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall
Background: The Age-Friendly Community’s Third Thursday Forum
at Four will kick off a new season with a new name, at a new time, with
a new format. We will now be called the Aging-in-Place Discussion
Group, and we will be meeting at town hall at 3 p.m. (instead of 4 p.m.)
on the third Thursday of every month. As usual, wine and refreshments
will be served.
