Insights for Aging Services Professionals

Aging Services Professionals Impress, Educate on Capitol Hill
Wearing bold teal "Aging Well is My Right" T-shirts and wielding years of expertise, 200 professionals joined NCOA on Capitol Hill to educate lawmakers about key aging issues. Backed by 3,000 people who sent messages to members of Congress online, Hill Day participants held dozens of meetings about strengthening Medicare, supporting senior centers, improving the Older Americans Act, and more.

As Congress begins discussing FY25 budget priorities and looking toward the November elections, now is the time to show your support for these legislative solutions!
