You’re invited to join us at the Kansas Statehouse in Topeka for our 3rd Annual Joint Aging Services Day! As a provider, we need you to share your story and experience to help our Kansas legislators understand how essential it is to continue supporting aging services.  

Aging Services Day is a collaborative event put together by LeadingAge Kansas, Kansas Health Care Association/Kansas Center for Assisted Living, and Kansas Adult Care Executives where Aging Services Providers gather at the state capitol to champion the needs of our elderly in Kansas.  We will meet in the morning for education at The Beacon then go to the Capitol for a full afternoon of legislative advocacy on issues that are crucial to Aging Services with our Kansas Legislators.  It’s a powerful opportunity to allow your voice to be heard and influence positive change for aging services providers and the population we care for.  Be part of the movement for better aging services.
