Public Hearing - Bay City - May 15th

The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging is your state resource for information on aging in Michigan. If you're an older adult, family member, or caregiver, here you can easily find and be referred to community programs available in your local area. Information to help people age successfully is also at your finger tips. If you work with or for older adults, you will find up-to-date information to help keep you professionally informed.

Projected 2009 midyear, world population 65 and older will
be 518 million. Projections indicate the number will increase
to 1.6 billion by 2050. Source: US Census Bureau.
