Approximately 45 million Americans are age 65 or older. By 2030, that number will reach 73 million Americans. At that point, fully one in five Americans will be older than 65. By 2034, the United States will — for the first time ever — be a country comprised of more older adults than of children. AARP Livable Communities supports the efforts of neighborhoods, towns, cities and rural areas to be great places for people of all ages. We believe that communities should provide safe, walkable streets; age-friendly housing and transportation options; access to needed services; and opportunities for residents of all ages to participate in community life.

While it’s easy to be skeptical, AI is not here to replace doctors, nurses, or receptionists. Careful use of AI can help with behind-the-scenes tasks that often pull healthcare teams away from direct patient care allowing your doctor to be present when they are with you in the exam room.

Caring for the Caregiver: Reflecting on a Year of Growth, Connection, and Support

Talk to your legislators, tell them what is important to you, your family, your business and to the future of our State. Whether you are building a budget, a State or a future for you and your family---details matter and these decisions matter.

Last month, the AARP Wyoming Volunteer Summit asked State Senator Eric Barlow to discuss the 2024 session and preview the 2025 session. The Senator from Gillette made it clear the weight that hearing from constituents carries. He made it clear how little he regarded organizations that try to stuff his email inbox with automatic messages, but how quick he is to open a text, return a call, or click on an email from someone he knows, especially those in his district.

As a thank you for his sacrifice for our nation, AARP Wyoming honored Marshall as the Hero of The Game at The University of Wyoming’s football game against Utah State on Oct. 26. Marshall and his family were given free tickets to the game, parking passes, dinner, and Marshall himself was honored on the field during the game. This will be the first time Marshall ever attended a college football game, despite being a lifelong Cowboy fan.

Rocky Mountain Power (RMP), an electric utility serving around 150,000 customers in Wyoming, is requesting a rate increase of 14.7% from Wyoming’s Public Service Commission (PSC). The request would raise $123.5 million for the utility. RMP says the typical customer in its footprint would see a rate increase of $17.17 per month and high power users could see their bill jump by closer to $31 per month. RMP provides electricity in Wyoming in the city of Laramie, between Douglas and Casper, in the Big Horn Basin, and almost all of Southwest Wyoming. AARP Wyoming has produced an online petition which it will deliver to the PSC during a hearing later this year. To sign our online petition against the rate increase, go to aarp.org/wy and search Rocky Mountain Power. The petition was released in mid-October and led to better than 400 petition sign-ups in the first week.
