In this episode of Sounds of Health, host Dave MacNiven welcomes Kathleen Schomaker, Executive Director of Gray is Green, and Dan Camenga, Executive Director of Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers. Together, they explore how connecting with nature, community care, and sustainability can transform lives—especially for older adults looking to embrace elderhood with purpose.

Kathleen shares how the first image of Earth from space sparked her lifelong passion for the environment, while Dan discusses the importance of relationships in creating thriving communities. They dive into topics like aging with vitality, volunteering, green initiatives, and the power of stepping outside—whether it’s for a simple walk or helping others in need.

With wisdom, humor, and practical advice, this conversation is an inspiring reminder: Get outdoors, embrace your legacy, and make an impact. 🌱

🎧 Tune in for an episode filled with insight, laughter, and actionable ways to foster health, connection, and environmental responsibility.
