Happy National #HispanicHeritageMonth! 🎉⭐️ We’re proud to honor the vibrant #Cultures, storied legacies, and enduring contributions of America’s #Hispanic and #Latino communities. As we reflect on both the past and the present, we can’t overlook the significant social and economic #Inequities many #Hispanic #OlderAdults have faced—some, for a lifetime. NCOA is more focused than ever on elevating the voices and viewpoints of the #Diverse older populations that have experienced the most disadvantages. Because no matter our skin color, gender, color, sexuality, income, or ZIP code, #AgingWithDignity is something we all deserve. 💙 #HispanicHeritage #MesDeLaHerenciaHispana #Unidos #EquityPromise #EquitableAging #EquityinAging #InclusivityforaStrongerNation

About us
Since 1950, we’ve walked beside generations of Americans. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. At NCOA, we deliver the resources, digital tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security. Because aging well for all is a matter of equity. A matter of dignity. And a matter of justice.
