Aging in Our Community
Healthy Aging Center to EngAGE Older Adults Aging affects EVERYONE. In fact, each of us is aging every day. Whether you are concerned about your own quality of life as you age, or that of a parent, spouse or other loved one, each of us will eventually find ourselves in need of information and support in order to age the way we want. That’s why PCOA is opening the Katie Dusenberry Healthy Aging Center this fall, named for our longtime friend, aging advocate and lead donor to the campaign. The Katie Dusenberry Healthy Aging Center will serve as a hub for aging services and a central location for more people to discover the array of services that PCOA and our community partners offer to support healthy aging. It will be a place for older adults to learn, socialize, and receive the help they need for their independence and quality of life. The Katie Dusenberry Healthy Aging Center is a central place for older people to EngAGE in: • Social, educational and wellness activities • Exercise designed for older adults • Information & Referral abouut community services • Medicare counseling and enrollment support • Fall prevention and health education • Medication use and management information

Our goal is to raise $2.5 Million to establish a community hub for programs and services provided for older adults by PCOA and our community partners. Support from our community will enable PCOA to purchase, renovate and open this visible and accessible 16,000 square foot facility for Tucson’s largest and fastest growing population of people over 60. To date, we have raised over $1.7 million.
