CPS Marks International Day of Older Persons, Promotes Healthy Aging

Sint Maarten's Collective Prevention Services (CPS) is commemorating the International Day of Older Persons on October 1st by encouraging the community to recognize and celebrate the contributions of elderly residents. The observance is part of a broader push by CPS to promote healthy aging across the island. The annual United Nations-recognized day serves as a platform for raising awareness about the challenges and opportunities that come with an aging population. CPS is using the occasion to engage the local community and highlight the importance of supporting older residents in maintaining their health and well-being. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by Sint Maarten's public health sector to address the needs of its senior population as a key community priority.
