Welcome
At the Sealy Center on Aging, we believe that growing older should mean growing stronger, through knowledge, community, and meaningful opportunities. That’s why we created the Community Connection, a program designed to keep older adults in Galveston County informed, engaged, and empowered.
Launched in 2022, the Community Connection has more than 1,300 subscribers who receive our quarterly newsletter by email or traditional mail. Each issue is filled with valuable updates, including:
- Spotlights on groundbreaking aging research at UTMB Health
- Invitations to participate in clinical studies that can improve health and wellbeing for older adults everywhere
- Local events and programs tailored to seniors in our community
- Volunteer opportunities, such as AmeriCorps Seniors, where you can give back and stay active
Why Join?

The Community Connection is more than a newsletter! It’s a way to stay plugged into the latest discoveries, connect with people who share your interests, and find new ways to stay involved in your local community.
