Join us for a presentation on key findings from Bergen County's 2026 Age Friendly Community Needs Assessment. During the assessment period earlier this year, the County conducted multiple focus group sessions, interviewed key community stakeholders, and gathered over 1,200 survey responses from older adults. We look forward to sharing these results with the Age Friendly community and discussing possible solutions to some of the issues facing older adults today. Please join us for this exciting, informative and interactive program. This is your chance to be part of the conversation about potential solutions to critical issues facing older adults in Bergen County.
