Washington State Launches Pilot Program to Improve Health and Well-Being of Older Adults
- Ten Senior Centers to Offer Free Personalized Health Assessments Through BetterAge -
SEATTLE, Wash., April 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As Washington's population ages and healthcare systems face mounting pressure to support older adults, ten senior centers across the state are stepping up with a new solution. This month, they launched a four-month pilot program using BetterAge – an innovative platform that provides older adults with free, personalized health insights and recommendations.
Funded by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, the initiative aims to help older adults take control of their well-being while giving senior centers new tools to supplement their programs.
'Washington's senior centers play a crucial role in supporting older adults, and this initiative allows us to explore new ways to empower people to take charge of their health,' said Mary-Anne Grafton, President of the Washington State Association of Senior Centers (WSASC). 'By working with BetterAge, we aim to enhance the programs and services available to older adults across the state.'
BetterAge offers a simple, confidential health and well-being assessment that takes just 7 to 10 minutes to complete. After answering a few questions, participants receive personalized recommendations tailored to the health areas they care about most. Participants will also be entered into a monthly drawing for a $100 gift card as a thank you for taking part.
'BetterAge benefits both individuals and organizations,' said James Firman, Chief Innovation Officer for BetterAge. 'It equips senior centers with valuable data to refine their programs while helping older adults make informed decisions about their well-being.'
Participating Senior Centers:
To participate, older adults and caregivers can contact one of the senior centers listed above to access BetterAge online or request a paper version of the assessment.
