May is Older Americans Month!

The 2026 theme is Champion Your Health, which OAA nutrition programs bring to life every day, providing not just healthy meals, but also regular wellness checks, social connection and access to supportive services that help older adults stay independent and thrive in their communities.

AIHS offers Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) classes, which coincide with this year's theme. The most recent classes were led by Nutrition Program Supervisor Felicia Say, MPH, who reports participants retained the information and acknowledged lifestyle changes for better health and quality of life.

One participant shared: "The class had a significant positive impact on me, and I believe my journey can inspire others to enroll as well."
