Celebrated every May, Older Americans Month (OAM) is led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Established in 1963, OAM is a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults in our communities.

This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their health — advocating for themselves, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence.

Healthy aging begins with access, awareness, and a community that cares.  When we invest in senior health, we strengthen the foundation of our entire community. The Riverside County Office on Aging (OOA) certainly champions older Americans' health.

In celebration of Older Americans Month, the RCOoA will host 10 events countywide (two in each Board District) with activities and resources to champion health & wellness and to advance healthy aging.
