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.

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 Association of Senior Centers (WASC). “By working with BetterAge, we aim to enhance the programs and services available to seniors 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.”
