A RESOLUTION to honor and commend the Johnson County Senior Center for receiving national accreditation from the National Council on Aging.
Impact
The accreditation received by the Johnson County Senior Center places it among a select group of only 110 centers nationwide, granted a five-year status from April 2023 until April 2028. This not only acknowledges the center's exemplary service and commitment to senior citizens but also encourages potential growth in outreach and service offerings, enhancing the overall welfare of the elderly population in Johnson County. By recognizing this achievement, the resolution aims to inspire other facilities and community organizations to strive for similar standards of excellence in their service to seniors.
