As we celebrate Father's Day this Sunday, let us all remember that June 15 is also World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. This day, recognized by the United Nations, reminds us of the abuse, neglect and exploitation of older adults in our own communities and across the world, and calls on us to help the vulnerable.

Sadly, most elders are abused by their own friends or family, but service providers, facilities and scammers are amongst those who also prey on elders. Look for the signs of physical, emotional and financial (*most common) abuse in your clients and community. Have the conversation. Help them find support.

Join IKOR in spreading awareness of elder abuse.

Today, Governor Shapiro signed Bill 1754 into law for the state of PA, improving access to biomarker testing for Pennsylvanians and requiring state regulated insurance companies to cover it. This is hopeful for PA seniors and all people with conditions such as all forms of cancer, ALS, heart disease, MS, arthritis and rare diseases - enabling the more efficient and effective treatment pathway personalized/targeted medicine provides. This law also helps overburdened clinical staff do their jobs more efficiently and lessens the disparity in treatment options that is often realized by underserved communities and people of color.

Earlier today, the Pennsylvania State Senate unanimously passed House Bill 1754, the bipartisan proposal to increase access to biomarker testing. The bill will now go to Governor Shapiro’s desk, providing him the opportunity to ensure coverage of this essential testing for more Pennsylvanians. The...
