Americans are living longer, but with added years comes added risk: more than 40% of older adults are overweight, 80% have at least one chronic condition, and nearly half of individuals over the age of 85 have some form of dementia. Every older adult should have the opportunity to maintain their independence, and it’s critical that healthcare providers and communities become better equipped to manage the challenges of our aging population.
While Michigan has a strong network of healthy aging programs, the Health Fund’s Healthy Aging grants seek to better integrate these services into the broader healthcare landscape and improve their capacity. We support projects that improve access to care, allow Michigan residents to age in place, and help communities build a culture of emotional support for older adults.
