Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan Invites Public Participation in Plan with Series of Public Hearings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 17, 2024


The Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (AAAWM) extends an invitation to the community to offer comments on its FY 2025 Annual Implementation Plan for the following nine counties: Allegan, Ionia, Lake, Kent, Mason, Mecosta, Montcalm, Newaygo, or Osceola. The plan is an integral component of AAAWM’s mission to provide quality services to older adults in order for them to remain independent in their homes and communities.

The Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan values the feedback of those who reside in our nine-county service region. We encourage the public to attend one of these hearings to share ideas, and comments, and ask questions,” says Kendrick Heinlein, Chief Executive Officer.

Join us at our public hearing to review and provide feedback on the plan.
