Core values

- **Addressing Societal Needs**: NCOA focuses on improving the health and economic security of older adults, particularly those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged. This includes advocating for federal funding for the Older Americans Act, which provides essential services like job training, senior centers, caregiver support, and nutrition services[1][2][4].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: NCOA's programs aim to enhance the well-being of older adults through initiatives such as the Adult Well-Being Assessment, which measures and addresses financial, physical, mental, and spiritual health, as well as social support. This helps in creating a better quality of life for older adults[3].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: NCOA is involved in the "100 Million Healthier Lives" initiative, which seeks to transform the way health and well-being are addressed by bringing together various sectors to innovate and scale solutions. This initiative focuses on social and behavioral determinants of health and aims to improve the lives of millions of older adults[3].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: NCOA supports programs like AmeriCorps Seniors, which engage older adults in community service, fostering social connections, reducing isolation, and contributing to overall community well-being. They also advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in health and social care, addressing disparities that affect marginalized populations[4][5].
