JSC will award special recognition to those 85 years and older and a salute to senior veterans. The office of San Diego District Attorney and office of Chula Vista Mayor John McCann along with National City Mayor Ron Morrison and Vice Mayor Ditas will be present to speak on elder abuse and senior care. “The holiday season can sometimes bring feelings of sadness, especially for older adults who may reflect on how quickly time has passed or feel the absence of loved ones more deeply during this time of year,” said JSC Founder Angel Ogapong. “Having been the primary caregiver for my grandparents, I recognize the importance of encouraging seniors to stay proactive in their care for long-term health, which includes making sure they are knowledgeable on the valuable resources that are available to them.” Founded by San Diego native Angel Ogapong, JSC aims to provide seniors with a sense of belonging through community, engagement, education and health and wellness. JSC also assists seniors in navigating Medicare benefits and connecting them with additional resources they may not be aware of, all at no cost. Tagalog and Spanish translators will be available to assist. The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) will be present to provide resources for low-income seniors. The Union of Pan Asian Communities (UPAC), the only organization throughout the county that offers mental health services for seniors, will also be available. Community partner American Medical Response (AMR) will provide free healthcare screenings for attendees. Local nonprofits including the National City Chamber of Commerce, Filipino American Chamber of Commerce Greater San Diego, National Latina Business Women Association San Diego, San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Olongapo City Bayanihan Club and Silayan Filipina will be at the event. JSC is currently seeking community partners and local vendors for the event.
