Local Master Plan for Aging Advisory Committee
The Diversability Advocacy Network (DAN) is committed to ensuring that people of all ages who experience disabilities, functional limitations or chronic conditions achieve access to quality healthcare,
affordable housing, and social/emotional support. It is with this spirit that we embrace the Rural Master Plan for Aging (MPA) project to facilitate the formation of a Local MPA Advisory Council that will hold as one of the identified goals the establishment of a Designated Aging and Disability Resource Connection in our Region.
