The ICC is committed to ensuring that the perspectives of community members, including older adults in the greatest economic and greatest social need, inform the direction of a national plan on aging and similar efforts.
The ICC is working in partnership with the National Plan on Aging Community Engagement Collaborative, which consists of the SCAN Foundation, The John A. Hartford Foundation, and the West Health Policy Center to elevate the voices of older individuals and community partners and to build upon momentum for coordinated efforts to support healthy aging at the global, federal, and state levels.
