North Hempstead, NY – The Town of North Hempstead’s Department of Services for the Aging is proud to partner with the Family and Children’s Association (FCA) to bring the Senior Mobile Access to Resources & Technology (SMART) Van to the Town on Tuesday, November 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Clinton G. Martin Park at 1601 Marcus Avenue, New Hyde Park.

The SMART Van is a new and innovative program which was designed to help older adults stay engaged with technology. It has a mobile technology lab which can provide technological training, connections to resources, and informal counseling. Participants will learn how to comfortably use a tablet, connect to wi-fi, send and receive emails, and learn more about how technology can help improve your overall wellbeing.
