Calling All Newport Seniors!
Aging In RI Legislative Workshop
July 23, 2024
10:00AM-12:00PM
CCRI Newport Campus
1 John H Chafee Blvd
Currently, more than 240,000 Rhode Islanders are age 60 or older. That number is expected to increase to almost 265,000 by 2040. I am committed to ensuring that Rhode Island has the resources and services available to support our current and growing senior population. Since September, I have led a statewide commission (the Special Legislative Commission to Study and Provide Recommendations Pertaining to Services and Coordination of State Programs Relating to Older Adult Rhode Islanders) to study such services for older adults in Rhode Island and make recommendations for ways to improve and coordinate them.
I invite you to join me and my commission colleagues for a workshop on July 23 at 10:00AM at the CCRI Newport Campus. We are excited to present the findings of the study commission and answer your questions. Lt. Governor Sabina Matos will speak about state programs overseen by her office, including the Long Term Care Coordinating Council.
Please join me for this conversation and contact me at 401.523.1143 or laurenhcarson@gmail.com with any questions.
