Tivity Health™, in partnership with the Tramuto Foundation and Health eVillages, has established a relief fund to bring services, programs and funds to older adults affected by the devastating effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Tivity Health will match the first $50,000 donated to the fund.

Tivity Health and our flagship program, SilverSneakers®, support all of those affected by both hurricanes, and we are committed to being an active partner in recovery efforts.

Older adults are particularly vulnerable during natural disasters due to challenges such as limited access to transportation, difficulty performing home repairs, fixed incomes, pre-existing health conditions, increased sensitivity to environmental pollutants and social isolation.

Funds raised by this effort will be distributed to organizations who are directly assisting individuals 65 and older affected by the storms. We will work closely with organizations that support older adults to identify gaps in services and quickly provide funding to get resources in the hands of those who need them most.

Tivity Health is committed to helping older adults age with dignity, vitality and purpose – and we’re committed to helping those affected recover quickly and fully.

UPDATE: As we’ve all seen, Hurricane Irma has had a devastating effect in parts of Florida and the southeast. Our thoughts are with all of those affected by this storm. We are expanding the scope of the Tivity Health Relief Fund to include reaching individuals 65 and older who have been affected by both Hurricane Harvey and Irma.
