Chatham Council on Aging looks back to its beginnings in 1974

This year the Chatham County Council on Aging is remembering and celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Founded on July 8, 1974, as a private non-profit organization, the Council has assumed a vital role for Chatham County for the past 40 years. While its role has expanded over time, the Council’s fundamental purpose has remained the same: to promote the independence and dignity of older adults and help them remain healthy, secure and involved at home and in the community for as long as possible.
