Vivalon Healthy Aging Center

About Vivalon Healthy Aging Center

In 2020, Whistlestop took on a new name, Vivalon, to mark the expansion of our programs and services. Vivalon Rides is now the name used for our transportation services. Founded in 1954, our organization initially provided transportation, nutrition, social connection and advice for Marin County’s older adults. As the years progressed, we broadened our reach to serve vulnerable residents of Marin County, regardless of their age, including: disabled, chronically ill and low income individuals. We also expanded our geographic area to Sonoma County, and our programs and services grew to encompass activities, Lifelong Learning and Healthy Aging services. In 2024, we opened our Healthy Aging Campus to serve the social and medical needs of Marin’s seniors with wraparound health care services, a healthy aging center, and affordable apartment homes in downtown San Rafael.
