Bergen Senior Expo USA will present in Bergen County from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., April 21, at Bergen Community College to connect with 40 to 50 local organizations dedicated to helping seniors and their families. Prize drawings, refreshments and health screenings are included.

The Senior Expos are a perfect example of the public and private sectors working together to serve communities. Salt Lake County Aging, in Utah, held the Senior Expo for decades. Over time, the Expos grew to be run with the full support and endorsement of the county’s Aging Adult Services and managed by a private entity. That transition made it possible to grow and break down the silos between government, academia, senior care professionals, caregivers and seniors.

It has opened the path to include conferences and retreats around caregiving, social work, genealogy and tech. The Senior Expos have expanded into multiple counties and continue to serve the needs of tens of thousands of people across the country.

Admission and parking are free. Location: 400 Paramus Rd., Paramus. For more information, call 248-524-4868 or visit Tinyurl.com/BergenSeniorExpo.
