While based on California’s Rural MPA Initiative, this toolkit, developed in partnership with the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, offers practical steps, templates, and tools that can be adapted to the unique needs of any rural community. It includes feedback from individuals in local communities and real-world examples from the initiative that show how an MPA can support health care access, reliable transportation, and affordable aging services. These examples highlight how we can create age-friendly communities that support all older adults.
Access the toolkit to start planning for your community’s future.
