 The Healthy
Aging Communication Network (HACN) provides
communication tools
on vital information, educational and evidence-based programs as
resources to key partners, health professionals, the public and policy-makers.
HACN members can link to programs that support good health and reduce risk for disability for
older adults. The HACN has three major focus areas: Physical Activity;
Chronic
Disease Prevention & Management; & Falls Prevention.
The HACN will link various members
of the aging network including: state & local health departments, the Arizona Department of Economic Security (Arizona's Unit on Aging),
the local Area Agencies on Aging, academia and various health-related agencies to address issues related
to the healthy aging of Arizonans.
Regularly scheduled meetings are held via the web as well as impromptu meetings called to address a particular need
of a registered member of the HACN. Registry of the HACN may be found here as well as the calendar for upcoming
meetings.
The Registry and Calendar are also available in downloadable PDF format. To open them, you need to have Adobe
Reader™ (free software) installed on your computer.
The HACN provides issue briefs, fast facts, data summaries, annotated bibliographies, materials for marketing
programs and for influencing decision-makers, and much more. Materials are downloadable for use in the public
domain.
