West Florida AHEC

04/03/2026

At West Florida Area Health Education Center, our Healthy Aging Program is all about supporting these key aspects of well-being—but just as importantly, it’s about meeting people where they are.

Healthy aging isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about taking that first step, no matter how small. Maybe it’s getting out of the house once a week, joining a Living Healthy class, trying Tai Chi for Arthritis for the first time, or simply attending a one-time seminar. Every step counts, and every beginning matters.

We believe in progress, not perfection—and in encouraging our seniors (and the loved ones who support them) to keep moving forward with confidence and compassion.

West Florida AHEC is proud to offer a variety of healthy aging classes across our four counties, and we’re always working to expand opportunities and connect seniors with even more valuable resources. 💙

Please feel free to contact healthyaging@wfahec.org or call/text 850-669-0579 for additional information on our Healthy Aging Program!

We are proudly introducing our new Healthy Aging Education Coordinator, by letting her introduce herself!

"Hello everyone, my name is India Stutler and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new Healthy Aging Education Coordinator for the West Florida Area Health Education Center! I am truly honored to step into this role and begin serving our amazing community of seniors across Northwest Florida.

I’m looking forward to building meaningful partnerships and getting started teaching and leading the classes offered through our Healthy Aging program. Helping others has always been a passion of mine—I hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology, and I’ve always been drawn to work that makes a positive impact in people’s lives.

A little about me: I love being outdoors, staying active, and trying new activities whenever I can. I also enjoy traveling and exploring new foods—always up for an adventure! I also grew up in Michigan and moved to Florida almost 4 years ago!

I’m so excited to get started and can’t wait to connect with and support our community💙"
