When Parker offered the Project Healthy Bones 24-week exercise program for osteoporosis prevention, it was so beneficial to members of Parker’s Center for Healthy Aging that Lori Morell, Senior Manager of the health and wellness center was compelled to share it with the community-at-large at no cost.

At Parker we have the distinct privilege of celebrating major milestones with Elders – like 100 years-old-birthdays. And we’ve learned that each person’s milestone, like their life’s circumstances, is a story all on its own.

An elder orphan has no adult children, spouse or companion to rely on for company, assistance or input. More than 13 million Americans fit this description, and more than 9 million of them are women.

Roberto Muñiz, President and CEO of Parker, explains why aging services providers have a responsibility to provide and support opportunities for continuous learning for employees at every level of the organization.
