Age-Friendly Spotlight -
Lori Johnson and Anne Schroth
The Lifelong Communities Fellows and the University of Maine Center on Aging are honored to present the 4th annual Patricia Oh Lifelong Community Award to Anne Schroth of Age-Friendly Coastal Communities.
The Patricia Oh Award was created by the current and former Lifelong Communities Fellows to recognize and celebrate the leaders of our Age-Friendly/Lifelong Maine movement. The first award was given to Patricia Oh….of course.
The award recognizes leaders who have both local and statewide impact, as demonstrated by:
Exemplary leadership of age-friendly work on the local community level, as well as statewide
Significantly improved the lives of older adults throughout Maine through advocacy or implementation of a program in one of the eight domains of livability
Provides aspirational mentorship to other communities
Prioritizes collaboration and inclusion in local partnerships and projects, as well as in state-wide advocacy
Anne Schroth exemplifies everything this award represents. We are honored to recognize Anne for her unwavering commitment to age-friendly communities throughout her region and state, her commitment to developing innovative age-friendly strategies, and her tireless efforts to promote wellness as Director of Healthy Peninsula.
Anne's dedication to fostering collaboration across Lifelong Maine has inspired other communities to follow in the shoes of Age-Friendly Coastal Communities, knowing they benefit from the lessons she has learned and that her team stands ready to mentor, answer questions, and help solve problems.
Through her leadership of Age-Friendly Coastal Communities, Anne has not only inspired others but has also created lasting impact on public health initiatives throughout the region. Her passion for empowering individuals and her belief in community-driven solutions perfectly embody the spirit of the Lifelong Maine Patricia Oh Award.
