2017 Supportive Services Speaker Series

Body

In 2017, the Clark County Commission on Aging focused on supportive services, especially for people 60 and older. The purpose was to educate and raise awareness about supportive services that exist, or may need to exist, to help Clark County’s older citizens age in their own home and familiar neighborhood for as long as they can. 

The commission  invited experts to speak on the specific topics below. Members then will discuss the topic and answer questions from the audience.

They concluded the year with an annual report with findings and recommendations.
