Brookline Community Aging Network
Age Friendly Cities program
In December 2012, Brookline was accepted as a member of the World Health Organization's international network of "Age Friendly" cities. In March 2016 the WHO network included 287 cities and communities in 33 countries covering over 155 million people. Brookline was the ninth municipality in the United States and the first in New England to join the network.
The Brookline Age Friendly City initiative is collaboration among the Town of Brookline, the Brookline Council on Aging, and BrooklineCAN. The initiative is guided by a Select Board committee co-chaired by Select Board Member Nancy Heller, Council on Aging director Ruthann Dobek, and BrooklineCAN co-chair Frank Caro.
