Health Buddies Takes the Stage at the Florida Conference on Aging!

by Lindsey May | Aug 26, 2025 | Email Newsletter Articles, News Articles

Shoutout to our very own Aria, Health Buddies Program Manager, who recently shared our mission with professionals from across the state at the Florida Conference on Aging!

Aria took to the stage to share how Health Buddies is a simple yet powerful program, pairing volunteers with adults for weekly check-ins, goal-setting, and encouragement to help boost emotional and physical well-being.

We’re grateful to the Florida Council on Aging for the opportunity to shine a light on how something as small as a weekly chat can lead to big changes, like reduced loneliness, improved wellness habits, and a renewed sense of hope.

Beyond the conference, Aria also spoke on WEDU PBS Florida This Week with Lissette Campos and joined a panel discussing food insecurity in Florida, focusing on vulnerable groups like children and older adults. She even stopped by Radiostpete.com to chat with Wendy Wesley on the St. Pete Eats Podcast about helping seniors feel healthier and happier through friendship.

Do you know a senior who could use a friendly voice and a helping hand on their wellness journey? Now’s the perfect time to join Health Buddies! Email HealthBuddies@SeniorsInService.org or click the button to contact us today!
