Cutting the ribbon on a new Center on Aging

The Texarkana Regional Center on Aging held on open house in its new facility this afternoon after utilizing some General Improvement Funds for the project. The center will also be the first facility in Arkansas to engage in geriatric telemedicine with its initial partner, Howard Memorial Hospital, in Nashville.

The center will provide services to the elderly in nine southwest Arkansas counties in an effort to increase the quality of life for seniors. With the largest generation of Americans ever entering the latter stages of life and people living longer than ever before, it's crucial to ensure that state-of-the-art technology, research and patient care is readily available.
