AARP Oregon Vital Aging Forum
Empowering People to Live, Age, and Care Well

Whether you are planning for your own future, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in living a healthier and more connected life, this event will provide valuable tools, resources, and expert insights to help you thrive.
Hear from leading experts in aging, health, nutrition, and caregiving.

You'll also have an opportunity to connect with local organizations and resource providers serving older adults and family caregivers throughout our community.
We'll provide a complimentary breakfast, and attendees are encouraged to visit community resource tables before and after the program.
