Mission

SINCE 1960, SENIOR CENTER, INC.

THE CDC RECOGNIZES THE AGING OF AMERICA'S POPULATION AS A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE AMONG OLDER ADULTS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL PRIORITY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OLDER ADULTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS LIKE THOSE OFFERED BY THE CENTER EXPERIENCE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES, ARE MORE LIKELY TO AGE IN PLACE SUCCESSFULLY, AND MAY INCUR LOWER HEALTHCARE COSTS. IN FY25 (APRIL 1, 2024-MARCH 31, 2025), THE CENTER DELIVERED 10,961 CLASSES, EVENTS, PROGRAMS, AND TRIPS-EACH ONE AIMED AT HELPING OLDER ADULTS MAINTAIN RESILIENCE, WELLNESS, AND INDEPENDENCE.

THIS RELIANCE NOT ONLY REDUCES COSTS BUT ALSO DEEPENS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND CONNECTION AMONG PARTICIPANTS.
