The evolution, innovation, and future of Area Agencies on Aging

AAAs are addressing these challenges by expanding the types of consumer groups they serve, working with a wider range of partner organizations, establishing new connections with medical communities, creating business plans, and implementing new strategies for financial sustainability. Using data from national surveys of AAAs, this article describes the evolution of these organizations and their network.
