5. We're redefining what it means to be aging. We serve more than 8,600 seniors and offer a variety of ForeverWell activities to match the variety of interests and abilities of members aged 55+. Sit and be social. Get out and about. Move and groove. 
    
6. We support you on your wellness journey - at all stages, including specialized health programs for those managing the effects of cancer, arthritis and Parkinson's Disease. We meet you where you are.
