Celebrating Older Americans Month This May

May is Older Americans Month. This event, led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), recognizes the contributions of older adults. This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” focuses on empowering older adults to take control of their health and advocate for themselves. It also highlights prevention and wellness as the foundation of healthy aging.

We recognize the work you do for your patients and encourage you to use this special month to inform them about the assistance programs available to support their health and financial needs, such as the Elderly Nutrition Program and the Senior Community Service Employment Program, and to share the health promotion insights featured on our blog.
