Peace of Mind for AARP Members

Are you confident in your finances and the decisions you are making about your future?  Do you know everything you need to know about staying healthy as you age?  

If not, relax. AARP is a source you can trust to provide vital information and resources to improve financial security, health and wellness, regardless of your circumstances – and that’s good news. When it comes to addressing these basic needs, the services and products we endorse, and the information we provide, can assist you in making the best decisions for your future.

Through AARP, you have access to all of the information, programs and products you need to increase your sense of well-being and foster greater positive social change within your community.

AARP’s longstanding commitment to diverse communities has its roots in the upbringing of our founder.  Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, a retired educator and advocate for people 50+, was raised in Chicago during the early 1900s, the daughter of an immigrant mother and U.S.-born father. She grew up appreciating diverse cultures. As the first woman high school principal in California, her appreciation grew as she witnessed the nation’s growing diversity in her students.

This year we’re deepening our commitment to diversity by engaging the African-American community and faith-based organizations to bring resources into local communities.  In 2009, watch for AARP’s Health and Wellness Tour with Gospel songstress Yolanda Adams; motivational messages and encouragement from AARP ambassador and CBS sports show host James Brown ("JB")”; and our ongoing AARP-Walgreens community outreach partnership that helps people use medications safely and wisely.

AARP reaches out to all people, welcoming them as members of AARP.  In engaging, supporting and contributing to the African-American community, we’ve been inspired to create and sponsor projects such as the Voices of Civil Rights and Songs of Soul and Inspiration. We’ve also made a one million dollar contribution to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C.

AARP is addressing the basic needs of health care, financial well-being, social engagement, giving and enjoyment of life through services, products, programs and events. At AARP, we’ve been serving our members for more than 50 years.  Come explore and discover how AARP is good for you, good for your family and good for your community.
