Thanks to Penn's Village member Tina Breslow and the Marketing and Communications Committee, co-chaired by Kristin Davidson and Harriette Mishkin, a team from WHYY spent time over the summer talking with members about why Penn's Village is important to them, and the segment is finally ready to air!

ICYMI: Popular Inquirer Article on Penn's Village's Impact on Older Adults

You may remember this article from the Philadelphia Inquirer on Penn's Village and how we help our members "connect, engage and thrive." This article remains relevant, and is used as an example of how cities are helping residents age in place. You can read (or re-read) the article here: https://www.bluezones.com/2023/05/how-adults-can-age-in-place/.
