The Commission on Aging’s charge is to provide leadership in addressing the special needs of the aging population and to manage and assist with the implementation of the county’s Aging Readiness Plan. This month, the Commission focuses on Chapter 2 of the Aging Readiness Plan. The COA and their guests will discuss county resources available to older adults for non-emergency health care, and mental health and dementia support. Join us in welcoming representatives from Clark-Cowlitz Fire and Rescue CARES program, HOPE Dementia Support, and local representatives from NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness). 

The meeting will be held 4:30 pm Wednesday, April 16, and is open to the public.
