At PCOA, we honor, respect, listen to, and support older adults. All of them. So this Pride Month, we want to talk about a partner who makes sure "all of them" actually means all of them: Southern Arizona Senior Pride.
They've spent years serving the people the rest of the world overlooks—LGBTQI+ elders, 55 and up, who were out before it was safe and are aging into systems that don't always see them.
We're proud to stand with them. This month, we're showing you why.

Smoking is a major modifiable risk factor for dementia. Avoiding, stopping, and reducing smoking can lessen that risk.
