Age-Friendly Kansas: Three-Year Action Plan - A Public Health Strategy Playbook
The Kansas Health Institute has released an action plan, "Age-Friendly Kansas: Three Year Action Plan - A Public Health Strategy Playbook," as part of the national Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS) movement led by Trust for America's Health and JAHF.
The AFPHS movement integrates public health into healthy aging efforts, strengthens the role of public health agencies, and promotes independence and quality of life.
The Age-Friendly Kansas (AFK) action plan outlines practice strategies to promote connection, reduce social isolation and support independence across the lifespan to improve well-being for all Kansans.
The three-year action plan includes 21 public health strategies to advance healthy aging, organized across three cross-cutting themes:
- Embedding aging and lifespan perspectives across Kansas systems and services
- Advancing intergenerational connection as community infrastructure
- Addressing social isolation and building social connection as a core public health function
