Tim Carpenter, EngAGE CEO/Founder, will be speaking at this event for leaders from all of the Portland health systems and many community organizations to promote healthy aging.
The purpose of the Summit is to develop a road map of activities that can be implemented to address issues facing older adults and to pursue potential future research projects. Of particular interest is social isolation. A rapid evidence review on this topic that was sponsored by AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) will be debuted at the summit.

Residents at Magnolia at 9th Senior Apartments in San Bernardino, CA, and Portofino Villas in Pomona, CA, are participating in weekly yoga classes with instructor Arostegui. Hot temperatures didn’t limit their ability to get their fitness routine completed this month.
Chair Yoga is a type of yoga that has been modified to allow participants to perform all of the required exercises from a seated position. It allows seniors and those living with disabilities to reap the benefits of yoga without risking their safety.
For older adults, chair yoga brings additional benefits. It also helps with chronic pain and symptom management for health problems including arthritis, depression, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and a variety of autoimmune conditions.

Thanks to an informative presentation by a representative from Credit.org, our residents learned how to make a budget and how to live on a limited income. They are now “senior savvy” when it comes to taking care of their finances.
EngAGE embraces a whole-person approach to creative living, providing college-level programs in the arts, wellness, and lifelong learning.

DENNIS DANZIGER is a writer and teacher whose books include A Short History of a Tall Jew and Daddy: The Diary of an Expectant Father. His play, Shalom Vietnam, a one act from the full-length Richard Nixon Sex Tapes, was presented at the 37th Annual William Inge Theater Festival in 2018. His TV writing credits include Taxi, Kate and Allie, and The White Shadow. Danziger taught English and coached basketball for 24 years in the Los Angeles Unified School District where he shepherded thousands of students to their first publications and regularly defeated students in 3-point shooting contests. Dennis and his wife, writer Amy Friedman, co-founded POPS the Club, which creates clubs in high schools that provide a sacred space for the voices of teenagers whose lives have been impacted by mass incarceration. On this show, Tim Carpenter talks to Dennis Danziger about his “new-slash-old” stage production, Double Play. Danziger wrote the first act at age 29 and the second act at 63; this is the first time the full play has been staged.
