Older Americans Month was observed in May, a time to celebrate seniors’ contributions to their communities. This observance was established in 1963 to acknowledge senior citizens' past and present contributions.
On May 30, 2023, the Harris County Area Agency on Aging (HCAAA) celebrated Older Americans Month with the theme, Aging Unbound, exploring the diversity of aging experiences and challenging the dominant narrative on aging by seeking fulfillment as we age. HCAAA staff visited the Hiram-Clarke, Northeast, and Sunnyside Senior Programs to recognize the participating seniors with prizes, dancing, cake, and a brief presentation highlighting HCAAA services. Bureau Chief Paula Johnson attended and spoke at all three events expressing with gratitude the appreciation and respect seniors deserve.

The Houston Health Department (HHD) works in partnership with the community to promote and protect the health and social well-being of Houstonians and the environment in which they live. HHD is a full-service health department that not only performs all core functions of a Public Health Department but also many enhanced functions including initiatives to address health inequities. HHD services
benefit all Houston residents but the department also takes additional steps to support those most in need, such as low-income mothers and children, the elderly and minority populations. Most HHD functions serve the 2.3 million residents of the City of Houston but the scope and impact extends into Harris County’s population of 4.7 million people through the department’s Area Aging on Aging, Bureau of Youth and Adolescent Health, Project Saving Smiles, See to Succeed, immunization strategies, syndromic surveillance and HIV-STD surveillance. HHD’s laboratory also services a 17-county region.
