Every year and every legislative session is critical to achieving the AARP mission – to champion positive social change in order to enhance the quality of life for all as we age. This year’s session of the Tennessee General Assembly, however, was one of the best ever.

Please plan to join us for a special event on July 13 as we discuss how to embrace aging. AARP is sponsoring this exclusive forum will connect individuals and families to community resources. This conference will offer a look at tomorrow’s possibilities in the financial, health, home and social areas of aging.

A new organization, Honoring Choices Tennessee, has been formed to increase the number of Tennesseans who have an advance directive for healthcare. An advance directive for healthcare is a document that would tell family and care providers a patient’s preferences for care should they ever be in a position where they could not make decisions and communicate them for themselves.
