About the Event

The topic this year is “Super Agers: Who are they and the impact of longevity on their families, the  economy and our healthcare system”. The Jenks is very honored to have Dr. Alexandra Touroutoglou of  Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital who has been investigating the phenomenon of super aging since 2016. Dr. Jonathan Gruber, Ford Professor of MIT, will discuss challenges and solutions facing long term care. Dr. Heather Jones of Winchester Hospital addresses how healthcare institutions adapt to  longevity in medical practice and their ability to prolong healthy living. Finally, we are pleased to announce  that there will be a panel of super-aging Jenks patrons with their families to discuss the realities of living  longer, how they exceeded expectations, their preparations for living longer and its impact on their families.  Note there will be many community partners and supporting vendors at this event with tables offering information about their services. Refreshments and a light lunch will be served. 

Registration is required for admittance and the center will be closed for all other activities.
