New Service for Age 60+ Vineyarders:
Call the Tech Pro!

Heathy Aging Martha's Vineyard has announced a new program to provide Vineyard residents age 60 and up with a tech pro who can come to your house to provide in-person tech support. Great for issues such as: setting up a new smart phone, if you are locked out of your accounts, or think you have been hacked. If your computer is old or doesn't work, the tech pro will help diagnose the problem and recommend the next step. This service is free thanks to a grant from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs and in conjunction with all four Island Councils of Aging. To get on the list for Call the Tech Pro, please call 508-693-7900 x.246 or email Cindy Trish at [email protected].
