Business Spotlight
Orange County Commission on Aging
Create Positive Aging! More than 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 every day in the United States for the next 19 years. The Commission on Aging is working to create a lifelong community that promotes active aging opportunities while expanding awareness of local support services. Health fairs, educational classes and monthly newsletters all help link local residents to the services and opportunities that exist in Central Florida. Making communities “age-friendly” has been identified as one of the best ways to help seniors to remain healthy, active and independent for as long as they can.
Goals
1 Act as a resource to Orange County Government staff and the Board of County Commissioners on aging issues, and to help in policy formation and implementation
2 Increase community awareness of senior issues and programs through educational outreach, public forums, and the media
3 Build coordinated community response to elder needs through effective community partnerships
