| Did You Know? |
As senior providers, we already recognize the wisdom
and wonderful treasure in our older adults. Recently,
our country has too! The U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services'
Administration on Aging has recently unveiled a multi-
year partnership aimed at encouraging boomers and
older adults to increase their
volunteerism. "Americans over
age 55 are an untapped resource of extraordinary
proportions," said David Eisner, CEO of Corporation
for National and Community Service. "They bring a
lifetime of skills and experience that can be channeled
into tackling some of America's toughest problems of
poverty, illiteracy, health care, and independent
living.
