Chaffee County Public Health hopes that every older adult
has the resources they need to thrive in this community. Some of our

members working toward making Chaffee County a great community to age in
place. The Coalition focuses on housing, improving resources,
education and advocating for older adults

Embracing Aging also hosts community outreach events to combat ageism.
- Aging Well Activities: 2 free yoga classes
