Our goal at the Ohio State University is, through our Extension services, to bring the knowledge of the university directly to you so that you may better your lives, businesses, and communities. To that end, we created the Aging Smart Program, which we hope to continue to grow. We were fortunate enough to have several OSU Extension Educators contribute to the development of the Aging Smart Program: their names are listed below.
We hope you find this module to be helpful, and will consider taking all of the Aging Smart modules!
