Citing the fact that Michigan’s population is aging at a rate faster than in the nation at-large, with the number of Michiganders age 60 or older growing by 50,000 each year, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer enrolled her state in the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities on October 7, 2019.
By doing so, Michigan will leverage funds and activities already underway through the State Advisory Council on Aging, the Michigan Mobility Challenge (that’s led by the Michigan Department of Transportation) and a Communities for a Lifetime program. Efforts will also focus on opportunities that are presented through a statewide approach for enhancing the health of older Michigan residents.
