“Medical Mutual has long celebrated the amazing contributions older adults make to our communities,” said Christine Taylor, Manager of Community Affairs for Medical Mutual. “Our Outstanding Senior Volunteer Awards have honored hundreds of seniors over the years, but with the many challenges older adults have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, including social isolation and loneliness, we felt we needed to do more. The 5-Star Senior Celebration allows us to do just that, while expressing our gratitude for all they do.”
