Growing older is not what it used to be! There's a new life stage that's filled with opportunity for people of all age, abilities, opportunities, or challenges. A unique national selfie campaign is confronting the misconceptions of aging and sharing how ordinary men and women from age 65 to 105 are powered by passion and finding joy in the activities they love.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leading health insurer and health care services company, Humana Inc. and leading lifestyle content producer, Growing Bolder LLC are expanding their New 65+ initiative that challenges the misconceptions of what it's like to grow older.

"The New 65+ are redefining for all of us what it means to grow older. From volunteering to traveling to playing sports and spending more time with family and friends, the inspiring message is that we can all find our own way to love life beyond the age of 65." Humana Region President Matt Berger.

The New 65+ celebrates the opportunities, achievements, and aspirations of older adults who, no matter their age, abilities, opportunities, or challenges, have found their own way to experience joy and live with passion, purpose, and enthusiasm for life.
