Thank you so much for having our team out to visit! We love seeing the important work being done!

We are STILL celebrating after such a wonderful Disability Day on the Hill!

Numerous local and state agencies continue to search for 15 y/o Sebastian Rogers.

We’re asking residents in Sumner County, especially around Beech High School and Long Hollow Pike, to check any space on their property where he could seek shelter. #TNAMBERAlert

Thank you, Governor, for giving me the best job in the state. We hope older adults and people with disabilities find a home in the new Department of Disability and Aging.

ICYMI, last night Gov. Bill Lee announced his proposal to merge TCAD with TN DIDD, creating a new Department of Disability and Aging.

This proposal enables better coordination and stronger advocacy, and we are excited for a stronger future for the populations we serve.
