From September 15 to October 15, AARP New York proudly celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, honoring the vibrant cultures, rich histories, and impactful contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across New York State.
November is Family Caregiving Month and Military Family Month. As a family caregiver, you may be responsible for managing and administering lots of medication. If you have medications in your home that are no longer needed or expired, AARP Long Island encourages you to dispose of them safely this November.
AARP New York is committed to helping you become empowered financially so you can live your best life whether you are still in the workforce, preparing for retirement or retired. You can get the latest expert advice on financial literacy, money management, retirement savings, budgeting, estate planning and more right here through our programs, both virtual and in-person. We’re also advocating for you at both the state and local level to make sure you can afford your utilities, prescription drugs and groceries.
AARP members and guests are invited to join us virtually to create a plan for a healthy new year! Rochester Lifestyle Medicine joins AARP for both an evening and a daytime session to share information on how no cost lifestyle changes can help support better health for 2023. Sign up for either one, or both.
Join AARP NY and nutritionist Stacey Simon for a special presentation on Eating Well During the Holidays. Stacey will discuss how to navigate the holiday season without sacrificing the joy of eating. Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, health and wellness has been on the forefront of many individuals’ minds. While nutrition and wellness is important to many, very few have access to reliable, realistic nutrition information that isn’t overwhelming or sourced from questionable resources.
Plenty of New Yorkers aren’t getting all the benefits they can from their state, which is why AARP in 2023 will focus on helping move those dollars from state coffers into your pocket.
