The North Carolina Healthy Aging Roadmap Is Open For Business

November 2, 2009

The North Carolina Roadmap for Healthy Aging (www.ncroadmap.org) is a web-based, interactive site to promote healthy aging throughout North Carolina. The Roadmap is designed for community providers, clinicians, and older adults to find and access the health promotion programs in their communities. Organizations and facilities are invited to review and update current information and post information about new programs and facilities.

The Roadmap contains resources and tools to implement and sustain evidence-based health promotion programs throughout the state. It also includes links to health information databases, listings and contact information for the evidence-based health promotion programs currently available in North Carolina, and listings of master trainers. For each county, the NC Roadmap provides a snapshot of healthy aging data and listings of organizations and facilities that provide health promotion programming to older adults.
