May is designated as Older Americans Month. For May’s The Giving Project, in which we collaborate with KGUN9 to shine a spotlight on a Southern Arizona nonprofit, we’re raising awareness of the program offerings and terrific work at the Pima Council on Aging (PCOA).
More than 21% of people living in Pima County are 65 years old or older. PCOA — whose mission is “to promote dignity and respect for aging, and to advocate for independence in the lives of Pima County’s older adults and their families” — has become an integral resource.
Since 1967, PCOA has been improving the experience of aging in Pima County through a network of programs and service partners. Whether you’re looking for assistance with Medicare, want to improve your health, or are helping a loved one remain independent and safe at home, PCOA offers programs and staff to help.
