| Illinois Pathways to Health 

What We Do

Your Path to Better Health Starts Here! We are breaking down barriers to health for older adults, caregivers, and communities across Illinois.

We provide evidence-based classes (workshops) that help thousands of older adults and caregivers prevent falls, manage chronic conditions, reduce stress, and stay connected. Our programs are:

Available at No Cost – Many workshops are grant-funded and free. 

Flexible & Accessible – Choose from in-person or online workshops. 

Offered in Multiple Languages – English, Spanish, Chinese and more. 

Why It Matters 

Older adults, caregivers, and communities face growing health challenges. Here’s why addressing these issues is crucial:

✔ Falls are Preventable: Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults, but they can be avoided.

✔ Chronic Conditions Impact Independence: Many adults 65+ face chronic conditions affecting their quality of life.

✔ Caregiver Support is Essential: Caregivers often face stress and burnout without the right support.

How Our Workshops Help 

Our workshops focus on improving well-being through:

✔ Behavioral Support: Strategies to manage conditions, prevent falls, and reduce stress.

✔ Physical Health: Exercises to improve strength, balance, and mobility for better independence and to prevent falls.

✔ Social Connection: Group sessions with expert guidance for motivation and support.
