Honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., AARP Ohio and the Cleveland Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., encourages Ohioans of all ages to join a symposium on Empowering the Community to Live Well: Taking Charge of Our Health.
The event on Jan. 17 is designed for participants to learn about services that can help improve the health and wellbeing of residents throughout our communities and empower them to make healthy living choices. It will also address health disparities currently affecting Black communities.
