Proclamation of May as Older Californians Month

Governor Newsom proclaims Older Californians Month | Governor of California

For the first time in our state’s history, Californians aged 60 or older now outnumber those under 18. By 2030, one in four Californians will be 60 years or older, nearly one million will be 85 years or older, and approximately 10,000 people will be age 100 or older.

This year’s theme for Older Californians Month, “Champion Your Health,” highlights prevention and wellness as cornerstones of healthy aging.

The theme is not exclusive to California, and in fact the "ACL Administration for Community Living" (an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.) national program has designated the focus. ACL Older Americans Month 2026 Theme: Champion Your Health | ACL Administration for Community Living
