On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare - the nation's health insurance program for Americans age 65+ - into law, and presented former president Harry S. Truman with the very first Medicare card. On the 48th anniversary of Medicare, AARP released the first in "commonsense solutions" series of new videos, aimed at keeping the program strong for all generations. Today, Medicare continues to provide access to health care for millions of Americans, including more than 309,000 in Nevada.
AARP Nevada staff and volunteers help more than 320,000 Silver State members with Real Possibilities for living their best lives. We offer news, information and resources on the issues that matter most to you.
What resources do you believe are most important to support vulnerable seniors in Northern Nevada? What would the ideal set of senior services look and feel like to you and your family? These are the questions being posed to residents as Washoe County prepares its master plan for senior services. The county will be accepting input and suggestions through Open Washoe County, an online program for citizen input and feedback, through the end of July.
Are you currently caring for a family member? Do you struggle to find balance between work, family and caregiving responsibilities? Do you neglect your own health needs as a result? Help is available!

AARP Nevada was happy to play host state for the first Life@50+ National Event of 2013 at the Las Vegas Convention Center May 30-June 1! This conference truly has it all - bringing entertainment, celebrities, experts and exhibits directly to AARP members. It takes a village to put together an event of this breadth and scope - and for us in the Nevada office, that meant recruiting, training and deploying more than 1,000 volunteers to ensure an outstanding experience for all in attendance. That small army of volunteers - nearly half of whom came from Nevada - took tremendous joy and pride in serving as hosts and front-line ambassadors.
The voices of AARP Nevada members were heard loudly and clearly during the 77th session of the Nevada Legislature, which concluded in early June. A number of notable laws were passed or positively impacted by the AARP team, resulting in stronger consumer protections, improved access to health care and more.
