This month is Older Americans Month. Tennessee’s elderly are invaluable members of our communities, deserving our utmost appreciation, and attention. During Older Americans Month, we pause to draw upon the knowledge and experience older adults bring to our families, our communities, and Tennesseans as a whole. During the COVID-19 pandemic we can overcome through the determination of Tennessee’s most experienced individuals who have overcome a diverse range of America’s historically challenging times.

I am sure that at the top of everyone’s mind right now is the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our lives. It feels like, in some ways, that our day-to-day routines have been brought to a grinding halt. However, with each day that passes, we realize that we are finding different ways to carry out our duties.
