For more than 45 years, Duet: Partners In Health & Aging has walked alongside older adults, family caregivers, and grandparents raising grandchildren; ensuring compassion, dignity, and hope when it matters most. Today, we share important news that reflects a thoughtful, forward-looking decision about how we continue that legacy and sustain healthy aging services for the future.
Duet's annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive for grandparents raising their grandchildren is back! Your gift can help provide K–12 students with sturdy backpacks - removing barriers and setting them up for success.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Melissa L. Boydston as Duet’s new Executive Director. She brings experience, compassion, and a shared passion for helping communities thrive. Please join us in welcoming her!
