Click here to register.

As we age, changes in our vision, flexibility, strength, range of motion and even height may require modifications to our vehicles to help us feel more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. The CarFit program helps make vehicle adjustments to better "fit" the driver, which will provide more comfort and better control of your vehicle. In addition, a trained Princeton Health CarFit technician will take the driver through an observation and questionnaire session. Participants are requested to drive their own vehicles to this event. We are pleased to partner with the American Automobile Association and AARP to provide this service.
