Creative Aging Is Healthy Aging: How to Make the Case

description

In this issue of The Creative Aging Resource Journal, Nicole Morgan, Research Manager at the University of Florida’s Center for Arts in Medicine, takes us inside the latest research from the U.S. and beyond showing just how powerful the arts can be as we age. The science is clear: staying creative keeps both our bodies and minds healthier. Even better, we share practical ways you can put this evidence to work—whether you’re making the case in your organization, building buy-in from policymakers and funders, or sparking change in your own community.
