The NCBA Health and Wellness Program

The NCBA Health and Wellness program advances the principles of activity and vitality at a mature age; decreases access barriers to healthcare; and reduces or eliminates health disparities among older adults and family caregivers across the lifespan. The program offers a wide variety of resources and technical assistance either in-person, online, or through self-paced learning opportunities.

Statement from the National Caucus and Center on Black Aging (NCBA)
by Karyne Jones, President and CEO, September 9, 2024

The National Caucus and Center on Black Aging (NCBA) would like to express our support for federal policy proposals that promote research and development (R&D) in innovative new therapeutics and cures for patients.

Communities of color disproportionately suffer from a variety of chronic illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and more, and we would like to see more advanced treatments and cures made available and accessible to improve the overall health and well-being of our aging communities.

To accomplish this, we support and welcome innovative policy proposals to ensure that smaller biotech companies that focus significant percentages of their net revenues on R&D be supported to continue their important work in developing cures for our nation’s aging patients, while also not eroding policies to ensure these life-saving treatments are affordable and accessible for older adults.

We look forward to learning more about proposals from Senate leadership to address this critical issue.

NCBA is the oldest minority aging organization in the country dedicated to improving the lives of older African American and all older adults.
