By 2030, one-third of Marin County’s residents will be 60 years old or older, with the greatest growth in that aging population expected to be seniors in their 80s. Growing older 
at Vivalon’s Healthy Aging Center represents a vibrant, fulfilling phase of life, not a slowing down. “People think life is not as interesting or as engaging as you get older,” says Stephanie McNally, Vivalon’s chief program officer. “That is the opposite here.” McNally credits Vivalon’s integrated model of elder care with meeting older adults’ mental, physical and social needs through connectedness, lifelong learning and advocacy, which enables them to age gracefully.
