Advocating for Older Adults & Aging Services

Through our relationships with lawmakers and the press, LeadingAge fights to remove barriers to care and improve funding for the sector. We help policymakers decipher complex issues in aging—on Capitol Hill and at the state and local level—to build a stronger future for aging services providers and the people you serve.

LeadingAge national policy staff influence federal policy issues as part of our daily work,
and we create opportunities for our members and other advocates to amplify their voices.
