Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has officially proclaimed June 15, 2026, as Arkansas Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
Older Arkansans contribute so much to our communities through their wisdom, leadership, volunteerism, and service. This proclamation serves as an important reminder that every person deserves to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and abandonment.
