Established in 1977, the Harris County Area Agency on Aging is part of a nationwide network coordinating supportive services for the elderly as mandated by the Older Americans Act of 1965 and its subsequent amendments. With the Area Agency on Aging acting as an advocate, awareness of the needs of the elderly increases through services that assist the elderly and their families with options that promote independence, well-being and dignity. The HCAAA’s programs are tailored to meet the social, nutritional, educational and logistical needs of all Harris County residents age 60 and above.
Speaker: Paula Johnson, Bureau Chief for the Harris County Area Agency on Aging
