Toolkit for Developing Local MPAs in Rural Areas
In partnership with the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, The Scan Foundation developed the “Toolkit for Developing Local Multisector Plans for Aging in Rural Areas,” developed in partnership with the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, is designed to support rural community leaders anywhere, whether in plains, deserts, or mountain regions.
While based on California’s Rural MPA Initiative, this toolkit offers practical steps, templates, and tools that can be adapted to the unique needs of any rural community. It includes feedback from individuals in local communities and real-world examples from the initiative that show how an MPA can support health care access, reliable transportation, and affordable aging services. These examples highlight how we can create age-friendly communities that support all older adults.
Access the toolkit to start planning for your community’s future.
