Significant health risks accompany social isolation. The cure? Remaining engaged in community. Today, we announced $20.6M for senior centers across the region that will offer a wide range of resources for older adults and their caregivers.

Seniors in some communities may be at particular risk of isolation, such as individuals who are part of an immigrant community, Native American elders, non- or limited- English speakers, LGBTQ folks, or seniors in rural areas who may be geographically isolated.

Thanks to King County voters, we are making healthy aging a priority, and the support we’re providing for these senior centers will significantly increase access to services for older adults throughout the region.
