Description: With the aging of the baby-boomer generation,
the impact of senior centers on local communities
is becoming increasingly significant
to national, state, and local policy-makers,
practitioners, and community and nonprofit
directors. All of these stakeholders are vital
to encouraging leadership, awareness, and
support of aging-related and health-promotion
issues. Anticipated increases in Delaware’s elderly
population over the next several decades pose
challenges to the state’s lawmakers, healthcare
policy researchers, and senior center directors
in particular.
