After I graduated from Adrian College in 1996, my first "real" job was at the St. Clair County Council on Aging as an Outreach Worker. I would go visit older adults in their homes and get them signed up for the services they needed to be able to stay in their homes as long as possible.

Fast forward 30 years - I am no longer going out for home visits, but I am still working to get older adults the services they need to age in place.

The scary thing is that not much has changed over those 30 years! There are still older adults who can not afford their medication. There are still older adults who live in poverty. There are still older adults who are socially isolated. We can do better and we need to do better.

AgeWell Middle Tennessee is the answer! We convene individuals and organizations to identify unmet needs and serve as a catalyst for collaborative solutions. We advocate for and with older adults and family caregivers to enhance our community and support positive aging. And we provide trusted information and online tools to ensure you stay informed and engaged in the community.

I am proud to work for such a progressive and forward thinking organization. We don't just put band-aids on problems, we find solutions and change systems.

We can't do this without your generous support of our work and our mission. Please help us improve the lives of older adults in Middle Tennessee.
Thank you!
