Community of Practice: Prioritizing What Matters to Older Adults Living with Chronic Disease

This NCECE small group training will focus on age-friendly approaches to encourage the development and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviors in older adults. Health center participants will discuss special considerations for chronic disease self-management in an aging population, including physiological changes and health-related needs.

At the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:
  • Understand the impact of improved diet and physical activity on older adult health and quality of life
  • Develop patient-centered counseling approaches that prioritize what matters most to an older patient and encourage motivation for proposed lifestyle modifications
  • Identify strategies for effective goal setting with older patients that incorporate social connection and community resources

Sessions will be held on Fridays: October 24, November 7, November 21, and December 5, 2025 from 1-2PM Eastern.
