Building the Capacity of the Aging & Disability Networks

Grant Summary

This grant will support the development of a National Resource Center to provide training and disseminate tools that help community-based organizations contract with health systems to deliver social services integrated with medical care that can keep older adults healthy and independent. This initiative builds on prior investments of The John A. Hartford Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Administration for Community Living and the Partners in Care Foundation, to help Area Agencies on Aging and other organizations develop the business acumen needed to partner with health plans and systems to expand access to evidence-based health promotion programs, nutritious food, transportation, and other services for older adults and people living with disabilities.
