Retirement Concerns on Aging

Are you getting to that point in life where age has become a concern? Read on!!!The image is a screengrab of a local‐news blurb announcing that the Philip Jaisohn Memorial Foundation (often called the Jaisohn Center) has been named the recipient of the 2026 Health and Well-Being Award by the American Society on Aging (ASA). A few key points: • What is the American Society on Aging? The ASA is the country’s leading membership organization devoted exclusively to the needs of older adults and the professionals who serve them. Through research, education and policy advocacy, they aim to improve the quality of life and care for seniors. • What is the Health and Well-Being Award? It’s one of ASA’s annual national awards recognizing programs or organizations that have demonstrated measurable improvements in the physical, social or psychological well-being of older people. Past winners have ranged from community centers to health-care innovators. • Why the Jaisohn Center? Although the blurb cuts off, the Center is well known for providing culturally tailored health and social services to older Korean Americans in the Philadelphia area—everything from wellness classes to mental-health support and caregiver resources. ASA singled them out for their sustained impact on senior health, social engagement and overall quality of life. The Jaisohn Center will formally receive the award at ASA’s 2026 Aging in America Conference next spring, where they’ll be featured alongside other national leaders in aging services.
