The Dauphin County Commissioners will host a listening session on the Pennsylvania Department of Aging's development of the Master Plan for Older Adults, which is a 10-year, state-led strategic plan designed to help transform the infrastructure and coordination of services for older Pennsylvanians. The master plan will also reflect the needs and preferences of this population to live where they choose and access the supports they need to thrive and age in place.

The listening session will take place on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m. at the Leader Center for Active Life, 605 Cocoa Ave., Hershey.

Health care providers, older adults and people living with disabilities, caregivers and community leaders are invited to hear an overview of the plan and its core principles. There will be opportunities for those in attendance to provide comments and input on the plan.

Individuals who are unable to attend can still provide input on the plan. They can either email AgingPlan@pa.gov or mail the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, c/o Master Plan, 555 Walnut St., Fifth Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
