Resources You Can Use: Healthy Aging Month

September is Healthy Aging Month!

According to the US Census Bureau, adults 65 and older made up 18.9% of the US population in 2025, which equals about 64.6 million people. The percentage of the population 65+ grew rapidly from 2000 to 2020 and is expected to continue to grow to reach 23.4% by 2060.

Although we’re coming to the end of September, it’s never too late (or too early!) to start thinking about aging and the habits that promote a long, healthy life.
