Subject:	Resolution designating the Month of June 2013 as “Older Americans: Making Choices for a Healthier Future Month” in Pennsylvania.

In the near future, I will be introducing a Resolution designating the Month of June 2013 as “Older Americans: Making Choices for a Healthier Future Month” in Pennsylvania. As many of you know, by the year 2030 the number of people reaching retirement age will double. Older adults have faithfully provided for current and future generations as pillars of our families, leaders in our communities, and defenders of our nation. Seniors living in communities throughout our great Commonwealth face many health challenges as they begin to reach retirement age. Communities can help improve the quality of life for older Americans by increasing their opportunities to remain active and engaged in community life, by providing individualized services and support systems to help maintain the dignity, independence, and self-determination of older Americans as they age, and by combating ageist attitudes by honoring the past, present, and future contributions of our older Americans just to name a few. It is with these reasons in mind, and many more, that I am honored to introduce this Resolution. As such, if you have any questions, please contact my Research Analyst -- Takesha Latham at 717-705-1943 or via email at tlatham@pahouse.net.
