AARP advocates on policy issues that matter most to Maryland residents age 50 and over and their families. In our state legislative advocacy efforts, we rely on our hundreds of volunteers and more than 800,000 members across Maryland.
Patients in Maryland hospitals spent a median time of 247 minutes in the ER before leaving. AARP will work with a coalition of other groups on legislative steps to address the problem.
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is offering free virtual companionship and personalized activities to people living at home with dementia to test whether these kinds of services can improve health and well-being.
Whether in-person or online, AARP volunteers are standing by to provide actionable information and resources to help Maryland's 50+ community and their families.
