HHS Partners with Ohio and Pennsylvania to Raise Awareness about Long-Term Care Planning
Two new states, Ohio and Pennsylvania, will join the federal Own Your Future campaign created to increase the public's awareness about the importance of long-term care (LTC) planning.
The "Own Your Future" initiative, administered by HHS' Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Administration on Aging (AoA), and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), is designed to help Americans take an active role in planning ahead for their future long-term care needs.
The "Own Your Future" initiative is part of an ongoing effort to increase awareness about what public long term-care programs actually pay for, the risks of needing long-term care services, and how people can prepare to pay for their long-term care. To date, over 11 million letters signed by governors in 16 states have been mailed to households with individuals in the target audience and from those letters more than 550,000 Long-Term Care Planning Kits have been mailed.
