Utah recently released their draft MPA – Utah for the Ages, for public comment. This road map helps guide state and local governments, agencies, public and private businesses, and the general public to prepare and successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities of aging in an ever-changing demography. The MPA informs policy, programs, and funding decisions that will empower Utahns to live their best lives across the lifespan.
Utah’s MPA incorporates guidelines such as state leadership commitment, rational data-driven analysis, comprehensive scope of issues, stakeholder inclusiveness, and measurable outcomes. The selected social impact priorities are a result of collaborative input and current research. Recommended strategies build upon current program successes and learnings, address critical needs and gaps, and identify future opportunities for systemic savings and elimination of redundancies to transform the way aging is experienced in Utah.
