The Voices of Family Caregivers

AARP Michigan announced its 2024 Legislative Agenda yesterday during the annual lobby day at Heritage Hall, inside the Michigan Capitol Building. More than 50 dedicated volunteers engaged with legislators, representing both major parties and regions across Michigan.
