Ohio's Rapidly Aging Population 'Underscores Growing Need for Senior Services'

Seniors age 65 and older now comprise more than 14 percent of Ohio's population -- higher than the national average -- "underscoring the growing need for senior services," according to a recent study reported on by the Associated Press.

Bonnie Kantor-Burman, director of the Ohio Department of Aging, said “we must make bold, sweeping changes now to prepare to serve our growing and changing population.”
