About the Health Aging Initiative program
Using the expertise that Extension offers, from Health & Nutrition and Horticulture to Family Resilience and Small Business programs and everything in between, the Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI) can connect you with the resources you need to navigate aging and the aging trend. The HAI program offers several trainings for adults over 50 and those who work with, support and serve as care partners for older adults. There are also classes addressing physical activity and nutrition through our Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), information on becoming a Master Gardener, Nevada Naturalist, or to learn more about the Nevada Radon Education Program. Extension and HAI programs outline the many careers in aging, professional and workforce development, and a curriculum to address aging perceptions and how the aging trend will affect all careers. If you would like a Botanic Garden Tour of our Paradise Campus, learn about volunteer opportunities, or participate in a class, training or focus group, please contact HealthyAging@unr.edu.
