    • Every New Yorker deserves a healthy aging experience. For older adults, healthy aging includes being able to meet basic needs, to learn, to be mobile, to build and maintain relationships, and to contribute to society. For most people, this means being able to remain independent and choose where and how they age. For more information, contact the Healthy Aging Unit at healthyaging@health.nyc.gov.
