CareAdvantage Members: Make New Friends at In-Person Social Events

HPSM partners with Wider Circle to offer a special program for our older adult members. It helps people make new friends at fun in-person social events.

How Wider Circle works

  • All meetings are run by skilled facilitators who have experience working with seniors.
  • Members can learn about Wider Circle by going to a kick-off event.
  • Those who choose to join attend six weekly 90-minute onboarding sessions with 11 other members. In addition to socializing, groups talk about health topics and engage in low-impact exercise (such as walking). They also go to restaurants, museums and other local attractions.
  • After the sixth session, members can join the chapter program. These have monthly events for much larger groups. That lets members make even more friends!
  • You can use HPSM’s Ride Benefit to get to events and back home –  learn more
