Aging Mastery Program (AMP)
Testimonials from Past Participants
The Aging Mastery Program (AMP) is a fun and engaging education and behavior change incentive program for aging well. Harvey Padek of Milwaukee AHEC is a certified instructor of AMP through the National Council on Aging (NCOA).
​
The AMP core curriculum covers 10 topics. The class experience is a mix of didactic and interactive learning with an emphasis on peer-to-peer interaction. When they graduate from AMP, participants have set goals for positive actions in many aspects of their lives such as exercise, nutrition, finances, advance care planning, community engagement, and healthy relationships.
