It's Ageism Awareness Day! When rigid stereotypes or negative views based on age seep into how we think, feel, & act toward others or ourselves, that is ageism. We find it in our workplaces, health systems, entertainment, & the media. Recognize ageism and name it when you see it.

Thank you, Lt. Gov. Stratton.
We commend the Governor's office for its leadership, which anticipates our collective needs as more of us age and builds momentum toward equity for older adults. The Governor's commitment to this matter is a source of pride and hope for all of us.
