Older adults are vital to a thriving state, occupying a significant part of the Maryland workforce, supporting local businesses, and contributing to the community in countless ways. As we recognize the economic and societal value of older adults, we understand why it’s in everyone’s best interest to keep Marylanders in Maryland as we age.
