The Kansas Department on Aging again offered
the most dynamic conference and networking opportunity
in the State of Kansas for elders and professionals
in the field of aging. The conference focused
on ways to address not only the needs and issues
facing Kansas elders, but also ways to enhance
their lives so that they might age successfully.
More than 800 service
providers, aging professionals, substance abuse
counselors, long term care administrators and staff,
mental health professionals, State agency employees,
Kansas elders and many others were in attendance.
Join us for next year's conference on May 6 and 7, 2009.
