The National Plan on Aging Community Engagement Collaborative Briefing: ICC Arizona Listening Session to Inform a National Plan on Aging
The National Plan on Aging Community Engagement Collaborative has published a briefing from a listening session with Tribal Elders in Arizona to inform the strategic framework for a National Plan on Aging.
Prepared by the Public Policy Lab, the briefing includes feedback from the listening session participants related to the four domains of the strategic framework: Age-Friendly Communities, Coordinated Housing and Supportive Services, Increased Access to Long-Term Services and Supports, and Aligned Healthcare and Supportive Services.
The cross-departmental Interagency Coordinating Committee on Healthy Aging and Age-Friendly Communities (ICC) seeks to develop a national framework on aging that can support older Americans in aging in place while accessing preventive healthcare and long-term care, as needed. One goal of the framework is to inform a National Plan on Aging.
The ICC is working in partnership with the National Plan on Aging Community Engagement Collaborative, which consists of The SCAN Foundation, The John A. Hartford Foundation and the West Health Policy Center, to elevate the voices of older individuals and community partners and to build upon momentum for coordinated efforts to support healthy aging at the global, federal and state levels. The listening session in Arizona follows previous sessions with groups of older Americans in Pennsylvania, Alabama and California.
