Celebrating Excellence Through Experience

If you know someone accomplishing new and extraordinary things after age 65,
then you may know a Champion.

Peoples Health celebrates people in the community who shatter the myth that getting older means slowing down. People over age 65 accomplish exceptional things all the time, not in spite of their age but because of it — because their life experience has provided the tools needed to do great things.

There are only two qualifications to be a Peoples Health Champion:

Louisiana Resident

The Champion must currently reside in the state of Louisiana.

Achievement After Age 65

The Champion must have achieved something extraordinary after age 65.
