Older Americans Month 2022 - "Age My Way"

Older adults are a vital part of our society. Since 1963, communities across the country have shown their gratitude by celebrating Older Americans Month each May. The theme of the 2022 celebration is "Age My Way," an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.
