Health & Safety

Our bodies change throughout our lives. This is a simple fact that has important impacts on our health and wellness as we age. By making healthy choices and actively managing the symptoms of chronic conditions, we can increase our well-being and reduce our health care costs. By preventing avoidable injuries and illnesses, such as the flu and falls, we also reduce the likelihood of disability. The Ohio Department of Aging operates a variety of programs and coordinates state and local resources to help Ohioans make healthy choices throughout the lifespan.
