Boston Village which has members in the Suuth End and been redefining aging in downtown Boston for over two decades, has launched a new speaker series in conjunction with its 25th anniversary.
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, from 4:00 – 6:00pm, Dr. Christine Ritchie will speak about purposeful aging at the MGH Simches Building, 185 Cambridge Street, Charles River Plaza in Boston.
Aging in place is not inevitable; it requires planning and purpose. Dr. Christine Ritchie, a Professor of Medicine and the Kenneth L. Minaker Chair of Geriatric Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), will present on how to purposefully age by creating habits of activity, habits of connection, and habits of curiosity and learning. She will connect these ideas to well-being in later life. It is never too late to try something new and become a new, adapted version of who you are.
