JVA Consulting is thrilled to announce that the orientation and training sessions for Boomers Leading Change in Health, an initiative to harness the experience and energy of adults age 50+ in meaningful action to improve the health of the community, will begin soon. The culmination of three years of JVA’s work with Rose Community Foundation, the Boomers Leading Change in Health initiative will train members of the baby boomer generation as certified health care navigators,  community health workers and  health advocates. If you are looking to get more involved to help your community, this is a great way to do so.
