This Black History Month, we honor the people, stories, and strength that shape our community, especially our Black elders, whose lives and leadership continue to guide us.

At the Center for Better Aging, we are rooted in Chicago’s South Side and committed to caring for all people, while addressing the inequities that have impacted Black communities for generations.

We also recognize that meaningful impact means investing in the communities we serve. In 2025, 55% of CBA’s spending went to Illinois BEP-certified organizations, exceeding our 25% target every month, and reinforcing our commitment to partnership, inclusion, and shared progress.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to age with dignity, respect, and access to quality care. We’re proud to do this work alongside the community we serve.

We’re grateful for partners like Veronica at Tolton Manor, who see how senior isolation affects our community, and take action to change it 💙
