Seniors Maintaining Active Roles Together (SMART)

Seniors Maintaining Active Roles Together (SMART) are community-based, volunteer-led exercise programs for seniors that accommodate all levels of ability.

Why it Matters: 

SMART programs improve strength, balance, and cardiovascular health, and reduce social isolation and hospital visits relating to falls.
