State Representative Theresa Conroy (D‑Seymour, Beacon Falls, Derby) received the Legislative Achievement Award from AARP CT for her work on legislation to help seniors.
“AARP thanks Representative Conroy for championing legislation that removes barriers to full practice authority for advanced practice registered nurses, expanding access to high-quality health care for Connecticut residents,” said Nora Duncan, state director of AARP, which serves nearly 600,000 members age 50 and older in Connecticut.
“She provided integral leadership to pass legislation last year that will help make the lives of Connecticut’s family caregivers – and those that they care for – a little bit easier.”
“I am committed to working for seniors,” Rep. Conroy said. “From healthcare issues, to aging at home to making our town centers easier to navigate, I want to make sure seniors have the support they need.”
The presentation was held at the Seymour Senior Center.
