WDH Seeks Inputs
The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) is seeking ideas, opinions and other input on the needs of Wyoming’s older adults and their care partners to recognize their challenges and set strategies to meet those challenges.
The Aging Division, part of WDH, is gathering information to help develop its “Wyoming Four-Year State Plan on Aging for 2021-25.” This plan is essential for federal funding of Wyoming support programs for older adults, but also provides a statewide strategy to help organizations understand how best to help older adult residents.

Comments from a variety of residents will be valuable, participation from interested residents and healthcare providers is encouraged. Anyone can take the survey, but comments from older adults and those who care for and support them will be prioritized.

Participation options include:
