Strategic Action Planning Group on Aging

Colorado's Strategic Action Planning Group on Aging was created by the state in 2015 to prepare for a state experiencing a dramatic increase in aging residents.

Too many Coloradans are without access to a #retirement plan through work, hurting their ability to get ahead and stay ahead. #copolitics #coleg

.@SenatorCollins brings up a great point: rural broadband access and lower % of #senior households with computers contribute to gaps in access to information. On top of that, many people just prefer an in-person resource for navigating questions.

[National Council on Aging @NCOAging]

.@SenatorCollins asks how we can avoid this "pervasive anti-aging feeling" in the country, which often has negative effects on older adults.
