McKenzie Health System will continue its 2026 Healthy Living Together series with an informative session focused on the importance of social connections, emotional well-being, and resilience as we age. The next event, “Aging Well - Staying Connected & Resilient,” will be presented by Krista Zvoch from StoryPoint Group at Stonegate Assisted Living on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. at Liberty Lanes, 100 Kristian Drive, Sandusky, MI 48471. A virtual option will also be available for those who wish to participate remotely.
Maintaining meaningful relationships and staying engaged with others can play an important role in healthy aging. This session will explore the value of social connections, ways to build resilience through life's changes, and practical strategies for supporting emotional well-being. Participants will gain insights into staying connected with family, friends, and their communities while navigating the challenges and opportunities that come with aging.
“Staying connected to others and maintaining a positive outlook can make a meaningful difference in our overall well-being as we age,” said Nina Barnett, McKenzie Public Relations and Foundation Coordinator and Healthy Living Committee Chair. “We're looking forward to welcoming Krista and sharing information that can help community members strengthen their connections and build resilience through every stage of life.”
