HBEC has begun its commitment to connect Detroit's seniors and their families to current knowledge about aging and health. This year's HBEC free learn series have expanded to include new locations with a broader list of speakers and topics.

Our FREE learning series include two to three presentations by experts on various health topics, a brief overview of the HBEC and its resources, a question-and-answer segment. Participants have mentioned that they especially appreciate being able to interact with doctors, health educators and HBEC/ MCUAAAR staff in a relaxed setting. FREE refreshments are served.
