At Temple's Intergenerational Center, people over 65 aren't something to be stored away in nursing homes; they're a valuable asset to the community. It's a principle that has guided center director Nancy Henkin for the past 30 years, and it's what has led to the center receiving the first ever Eisner Prize for Intergenerational Excellence from the Eisner Foundation. "Aging is not something that starts at 65," said Henkin. "It starts at birth. At every life stage you want opportunities to be productive."
