Harlem seniors find a kind of magic in the pool
It’s probably overstating the case to say that Lettice Graham has found the fountain of youth.
But there’s no doubt that there’s something in the water at the Hansborough Recreation Center. That’s the home of the Harlem Honeys and Bears, an all-black co-ed synchronized swimming team for seniors.

At 97, Graham is the team’s oldest member.

My mother had a massive stroke in 2012. Within the next few years we lost her, as well as my father and my father-in-law. If I hadn’t been introduced to the world of palliative care and hospice care I would not have survived.

How hearing loss can lead to memory loss—and how to prevent it
Hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, and it can wreak havoc on our brains. One quarter of U.S. seniors between the ages of 65 and 74, and half of those over 75, have a disabling form of hearing loss, according to the National Institutes of Health. And people with hearing loss are twice as likely to develop mild cognitive impairment, a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.
