This September, Vivalon is bringing Marin County together for Falls Prevention Awareness Week, September 22-25: a week of free programs, expert conversations, classes and resources to help older adults stay strong, steady and independent.

Learn from local experts about what’s causing falls in Marin County and what we can do about it. Try fall-prevention classes, learn how to safely recover after a fall, get a fall risk assessment, explore new technology and hear from medical professionals, first responders and physical therapists.

There’s something for everyone, whether you’re an older adult looking to stay active and independent, a caregiver supporting someone you love, or simply interested in healthy aging.

Join us for one event or come for the week.

📅 September 22-25
📍 Vivalon Healthy Aging Campus, 999 Third Street, San Rafael
🎟️ All events are free

Our members have been enjoying unforgettable outdoor outings with naturalist Susan.

Recent trips have taken participants to China Camp State Park and Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Participants say having this opportunity is truly a gift, and Susan’s knowledge and passion as a naturalist make each trip even more meaningful.

Today’s adventure included two incredible participants—ages 97 and 94! And we’re excited that our next outing will welcome a participant who uses a wheelchair, continuing our commitment to making these experiences accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Thank you to the Drew Murphy Foundation for making moments like these possible. 💙🌲

Champions Week is underway!

This week, elected officials from across Marin are joining Vivalon meal delivery routes to experience firsthand the impact of home-delivered nutrition services.

Yesterday, Congressman Jared Huffman spent time on a Meals on Wheels route, meeting recipients and seeing how nutritious meals, wellness checks, and human connection help older adults and people with disabilities remain healthy, independent, and connected to their community.

Over the last decade, demand for Vivalon’s home-delivered nutrition programs has grown significantly. Since 2016, the number of people served has increased by 55%, while meals delivered have increased by 69%.

Stay tuned throughout the week as more community leaders take part in Champions Week and learn why these services matter.
