Senior ReporterHelp shape my reporting:
One in five Vermonters is considered elderly. But what does being elderly even mean 鈥� and what do Vermonters need to know as they age? I鈥檓 looking into how aging in Vermont impacts living essentials such as jobs, health care and housing. And also how aging impacts the stuff of life: marriage, loss, dating and sex. Yours are the voices and stories that guide us as we navigate aging 鈥� because, well, we all are.
