Abstract
When you think of 1965, what legislation comes to mind? For most of us who work in health care or nutrition policy, it is the Medicare law. However, the Older Americans Act (OAA) was also enacted that year. This landmark legislation paved the way for the establishment of the largest, longest-standing coordinated program of community and home-based preventive nutrition and related services to the nation’s elderly population. The OAA was first enacted out of concern for the health and well-being of America’s seniors, and it established the US Administration on Aging (AoA) with the intent of expanding opportunities for improving the health and enriching the lives of American citizens as they reach their elderly years. The OAA was last amended and reauthorized in 2000 and expires on October 1, 2005.
