Aging is something we all share. How we support it shapes the community we become. Yesterday, the Johnson County Area Agency on Aging’s Commission on Aging hosted its annual Legislative Breakfast, bringing together county leaders, legislators and advocates for aging services.

This year’s event featured an “Aging 101 for Legislators,” exploring how decisions in housing, healthcare, transportation and community planning impact our growing population of older adults. Thank you to everyone who joined us to discuss critical issues and help shape a thriving, age-friendly Johnson County! 🌟🔗 Explore aging services and community resources: jocogov.org/agingservices
