As World Elder Abuse Awareness Day approaches on June 15, AARP Pennsylvania is drawing attention to one of the most prevalent yet underreported forms of abuse: financial exploitation. This type of elder abuse can lead to significant loss of one’s savings, independence, and security—and it often goes unnoticed and unreported until it’s too late.
AARP-Virgin Islands reminds Virgin Islanders that we are now in the “11th hour” before our 36th Legislature revisits a critical public health crisis that affects every one of us. Earlier this year, in April, State Director Troy A. De Chabert-Schuster testified before the Committee on Health, Hospitals and Human Services to contribute to the critical discussion about protecting a patient’s right to know about the risks associated with opioid misuse. This testimony was presented in support of Bill No. 36-0021, which requires a practitioner to discuss certain information with a patient when prescribing opioids. As a former pharmacy owner, he gave intimate details of how he witnessed the devastating impacts of opioid misuse.
Starting May 14, AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
