Older Americans Month is a time for our nation to celebrate older adults and their contributions to our communities. Each May, this annual observance offers a special opportunity to learn about, support, recognize and celebrate our nation’s older residents.
The national theme for Older Americans Month 2026 is “Champion Your Health”, which focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging.
It encourages taking an active role in managing your own health, advocating for yourself, accessing preventive care, and making informed decisions that support independence. Join us in highlighting the importance of evidence-based approaches, self-management, and community partnerships that empower individuals to lead their healthiest lives.
To celebrate Older Americans Month, the Warren County Aging Services Advisory Council annually conducts a county-wide search for an older adult to honor with the Mary Louise Christine Outstanding Senior Citizen of Warren County Award. We seek your help in identifying a Warren County senior whose service to their community has benefited other residents to the extent that you feel they are deserving of this distinction.
In addition to the honoree’s name being permanently memorialized on a plaque displayed in the Wayne Dumont, Jr., Administration Building, the 2026 Outstanding Senior Citizen of Warren County will be presented with a meritorious plaque by the Warren County Board of County Commissioners and celebrated at a reception on May 2026.
Each nominee for the award will receive a special Certificate of Appreciation and will be invited to attend the reception in May 2026.
