STRENGTHENING THE AGING NETWORK’S CAPACITY TO INNOVATE, LEAD AND THRIVE
For over 40 years, Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) and Title
VI Native American aging programs have relied on the National
Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) as a trusted and
essential partner to help them navigate in times of change and even
transformation. With each decade, new challenges were met and
successes achieved, but perhaps no period has had the sweeping
impact on the way the Network does business as the years since the
enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In just a few years, many of our members have significantly expanded their service portfolios to include
integrated care, Medicaid managed care and care transitions, all while continuing to set the standard
for the provision of home and community-based services nationwide. Today, AAAs are increasingly
sought out by hospitals and Managed Care Organizations, Accountable Care Organizations and other
health care providers that recognize that they can bridge the gap between the critical care and long-
term needs of older adults and people with disabilities, and they can do it NOW.
To support our members in this fast-changing environment, we
must be nimble too. We listen to our members, evaluate our
areas of focus and calibrate as needed. But our members also
rely on us to provide forward-thinking counsel, and so we build
relationships in the public policy, corporate and consulting arenas,
so they can position their agencies well ahead of the curve.

older adults as an invaluable volunteer resource.

Americans.
