Older Americans Month

Celebrated every May, Older Americans Month (OAM) is led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Established in 1963, OAM is a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults in our communities.
This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their health — advocating for themselves, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence.
This Older Americans Month, communities and individuals alike can take steps to champion health and advance healthy aging.
We are busy working with our partners to bring you the best possible OAM,
so please check back again soon for a full list of exciting events!
