PA Aging Summit 2026

Pennsylvania is aging, and the policies we put in place today will shape how older adults live, work, and thrive. Join us for a conversation on key issues affecting older Pennsylvanians, including health and long-term care, affordable housing, caregiving, transportation, and economic security. Learn about priorities and how advocates and communities can help build a stronger future for aging in Pennsylvania.
