Oklahoma just published their MPA: Aging Our Way Oklahoma. This plan is a collaborative effort led by Oklahoma Human Services to prepare for the state’s significant demographic shift. Various stakeholders and cross-sector partners have been involved in the plan’s development, including those who work in state agencies, who represent an assortment of industries and sectors and who are members of Tribal Nations.
The plan is guided by several key focus areas: accountability, coordination, and fiscal transparency; housing; transportation; age-friendly communities; culture change and education; wellness; social connection; caregivers; workforce; availability and affordability of services, programs, and resources. The goal is to give every older adult the confidence to live life on their terms and to provide them with the resources needed to lead a healthy lifestyle. Read the full plan here.
Over the next ten years, Oklahoma Human Services will continue to meet with partners and update the plan, adjusting to the evolving needs of Oklahoma’s aging population.
