Kent’s said her wish is for the community to reach out to members of Congress and share how important it is to keep this program funded.
One highlight of the evening was the prestigious Hometown Halo Award presented to Kathy Kent of NACOG-Aging, recognizing her service and commitment connecting Northern Arizona seniors with the resources they need to be supported and healthy at home for as long as possible.
“Kathy’s unwavering dedication to serving seniors exemplifies the values we hold dear, and we are privileged to have her as part of our elder care community,” said Cecelia Jernegan, director of Visiting Angels and co-founder of Senior Referral Network. Kelly Paradis of Good Samaritan Hospice shared a bio of Kent’s work at NACOG-Aging, mentioning they serve 1,600-plus seniors and have a waiting list of almost 500 more, yet are facing congressional budget cuts to their program this summer.
Kent’s said her wish is for the community to reach out to members of Congress and share how important it is to keep this program funded. She brought her team on stage and thanked the crowd for the honor and the $500 check donated from Senior Referral Network and Circle of Life Alzheimer Homes, which she says will be used to provide 50 meals for seniors.
