USAging CEO Speaks Out On Behalf of Millions of Older Adults and Their Family Caregivers

“Congress should not leave town until they deliver for older adults and caregivers,” says USAging CEO Sandy Markwood.

USAging is urging Congress to act immediately to reauthorize and fully fund the Older Americans Act (OAA) to protect the health, safety and independence of older adults across the nation. The OAA provides vital resources that millions of older adults and caregivers rely on daily, from in-home care and meals to transportation and elder abuse prevention. However, the House has dropped the bipartisan OAA reauthorization from its year-end package, putting these critical services at risk.
