In March, ACL and our many partners set aside time to celebrate the National Senior Nutrition Program. For 49 years, the National Senior Nutrition Program has been a mainstay of the Older Americans Act programs that work together to help older adults stay healthy, active and independent.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, ACL has worked with the HHS Office for Civil Rights, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other partners to protect the rights of people with disabilities and older adults.
I am humbled and thrilled to have joined ACL on Inauguration Day as Principal Deputy Administrator and to serve as Acting Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging. I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself to ACL’s stakeholders and share some of the critical priorities where we have already begun focusing our work.
