Master Plan for Aging Town Halls
The NYS Department of Health (DOH/the Department) and the NYS Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) are inviting the public to their upcoming New York Master Plan for Aging (MPA) Town Halls.
The events will provide attendees with an overview of the state’s efforts to date to implement Governor Hochul’s plan for New York to become the most age- and disability-friendly state in the US. The MPA employs philanthropic, academic, private, public, and local partnerships in its work.
As we’ve been reporting, HCP has been an active participant in the MPA process and plans to continue its involvement with workgroups pertinent to home and community-based services (HCBS).
