May is Older American Month 2024: Powered by Connection
Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. The 2024 theme is Powered by Connection, which recognizes the profound impact that meaningful relationships and social connections have on our health and well-being. This month we will explore the vital role that connectedness plays in supporting independence and aging in place by combatting isolation, loneliness, and other issues.
Live Well Lincoln wants to remind you that now is a great time to expand your connections. Lincoln County has wonderful opportunities. No time like the present to check out one today!
