Life after 50 is full of possibility — and Scioto County is bringing that spirit to life with “Live Well, Age Well: Starting Now!”, a free, interactive wellness event for adults age 50 and older. Hosted by the Ohio State University Extension Office of Scioto County, this event will take place on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at Cornerstone Church (808 Offnere Street, Portsmouth). The day begins at 8:30 a.m. and is packed with inspiration, resources and a welcoming community atmosphere.
Participants will enjoy a free breakfast, followed by access to 24 engaging breakout sessions covering topics like:
* Planning and managing finances
* Living with purpose
* Safe medication practices
* Caring for caregivers
* Aging in place
* Driving safety for older adults
Whether you’re thinking ahead or looking to enhance your current lifestyle, this event offers something for everyone. It’s designed to be hands-on, empowering, and focused on practical tools to support healthier, more independent living.
In addition to breakout sessions, attendees will benefit from free health screenings, and those who pre-register will receive a complimentary lunch and an Ohio State University Extension tote bag filled with helpful resources and giveaways.
The tone of the day is casual but meaningful; expect real conversations, practical takeaways, and plenty of opportunities to connect with others in the community.
This event is made possible through strong local partnerships with the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Shawnee State University Foundation, Cornerstone Church, the Portsmouth City Health Department, and King’s Daughters Medical Center. Their shared commitment is to ensure older adults in our region feel supported, informed, and inspired.
