AARP Louisiana has partnered with Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center to offer a series of healthy living workshops to the community. The programming is part of Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center's Prevention on the Go program and aligns with AARP’s healthy living social mission. The workshops will provide Louisianans with important information to make informed decisions about their health.

AARP has long supported its members being regular voters, so when it came to the 2020 elections, AARP Louisiana wanted to make sure voters age 55-plus were ready to make their decisions. In our efforts, it was important to ensure there was a media campaign that included all voters of the age group, including Black and Hispanic communities. To make all of this happen, AARP Louisiana partnered with Octagon Media, an African American, woman-owned, Baton Rouge-based advertising and marketing firm started in 2012 by owner Maranda White.

Are you eager to help AARP’s mission to advocate for people 50 and older? AARP Louisiana is seeking volunteers to assist with the state office’s virtual workshops. Online events this year have included a caregiving workshop, a dance class and a telephone town hall discussing the coronavirus.

Most people in need of long-term care assistance would like to remain at home, where they can decide what kind of services they receive. AARP Louisiana is working to help more Louisianans have a choice in that care.
