AARP South Dakota needs volunteers to engage with lawmakers on issues important to older adults.

November is Family Caregiving Month. Did you know there are 80,000 family caregivers in South Dakota and a majority of them also work while providing care for a loved one?
AARP South Dakota recently received the Lyn Bodiford Award for Excellence in Advocacy for the team’s efforts to pass Medicaid expansion at the ballot box last November.
With the arrival of July, as many as 52,000 South Dakotans may now be able to access health care coverage thanks to the implementation of Medicaid expansion, which was overwhelmingly passed by South Dakota voters last November.
