    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Described as someone who uses her political power to make America a better place to grow old, Sen. Susan Collins, chairman of the Senate Aging Committee, is featured on the cover of the Spring 2015 AgingCare Magazine and on agingcare.com.

    The accompanying article describes Collins’ priorities on the committee and how she is reaching across the aisle to help older Americans.
     “The ‘S’ stands for Senator, not Superwoman, but Susan Collins is known for taking heroic action on behalf of America’s 43 million older adults,” the piece begins. “Family caregivers couldn’t ask for a better advocate than Collins, who is currently in her third Senate term. Her native state of Maine boasts the oldest population by median age in the country.”
    The article describes Collins’ extensive work on behalf of veterans, Alzheimer’s patients, families and caregivers. “With legislators like Collins, always looking for ways to ‘do more’ for family caregivers, things are beginning to look a bit brighter for our aging America,” the story concludes.
