“I’ve got to tell you, I’ve never seen a senior center like this.” That was U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra’s first comment upon touring the Rockville Senior Center on Aug. 11.

He also took the time to listen to questions and concerns from a panel of 12 Rockville seniors, led by Senior Citizens Commission chair Anne Herbster.
