Welcome to the Department of Disability and Aging, dedicated to serving Tennesseans with disabilities and older adults across the Volunteer State.
We’re grateful to
@GovBillLee
for his support as we embark on an exciting and incredible new mission.
What an honor is was to witness the formation of this new department! We are so excited to hit the ground running as we serve both older adults and Tennesseans with disabilities!
Today, I signed a bill that will combine
@DIDD_TN
&
@TNAging
, creating the new Department of Disability & Aging.
Since day one, we’ve prioritized right-sizing government to effectively serve all Tennesseans, & today is an example of our work to deliver on that promise.
What an incredible Disability Day on the Hill! Thank you to everyone who showed up, showed out, and advocated for a better Tennessee for people with disabilities. We could not have done it without you and our amazing DDH Sponsors!

Numerous local and state agencies continue to search for 15 y/o Sebastian Rogers.
We’re asking residents in Sumner County, especially around Beech High School and Long Hollow Pike, to check any space on their property where he could seek shelter.

Thank you, Governor, for giving me the best job in the state. We hope older adults and people with disabilities find a home in the new Department of Disability and Aging.

@GovBillLee
announcing tonight that
@DIDD_TN
and
@TNAGING
will combine to create the new Department of Disability and Aging. I am thankful the governor has trusted me with this huge responsibility, and I am excited to see what the future holds!
As people & companies have shifted Southeast, so has America’s economy. For the first time in history, just 6 states in the Southeast, including TN, are contributing more to America’s GDP than the entire Northeast.
TN has emerged as an economic powerhouse for the country.
As temperatures continue to drop, we encourage all Tennesseans to remain off of the roads.
If you must drive, use & follow
@myTDOT
for key road safety updates.
Thank you to our friends
@myTDOT
for their work in clearing the snow and ice-covered roads. Tennessee experienced an above-average amount of snow in a short period of time. Here’s one of our partners from TDOT clearing US 41 South in Robertson County.
Many thanks to the
@myTDOT
team for working through the night to treat roads & assist stranded motorists across Tennessee.
Honored to meet these dedicated state employees during a quick lunch break to commend their unwavering service to Tennesseans.
2023 Expect Employment Report was presented to
@GovBillLee
today. The Employment First Task Force was created to address barriers and create solutions for people with disabilities. It’s working!
