The New Jersey Foundation for Aging (NJFA) is pleased to announce our new public access cable show available to public access stations across New Jersey. The Foundation hosts an annual professional conference as well as policy forums. The show will follow in the tradition of Aging Today, a program that has aired in Middlesex County for five years with more than 40,000 viewers. Aging Insights will make information about aging issues available to public access viewers and will widen the audience.  Grace Egan, Executive Director of the Foundation noted, “we are pleased to step into this opportunity and follow the lead of Aging Today.  The new show will be titled Aging Insights and will offer resources for boomers, caregivers and seniors while widening the viewership to other counties”.

The first show aired in October and featured NJFA’s Executive Director, Grace Egan as moderator and introduces the audience to NJFA.
