Missourians over 65 will comprise nearly 20 percent of our state’s population by the year 2020. The challenges of providing the necessary services and
information to Missouri seniors in the near future will grow substantially. Gathering and compiling the necessary data is critical to assist in targeting
these challenges formulating appropriate solutions. The Missouri Senior Report 2007 is a great resource that shows us the conditions facing our seniors.
A new and diverse aging population creates the need for novel and fresh approaches to the day-to-day issues facing an aging population. The growth of our senior population in Missouri and the United States is a driving force in affecting major economic and social developments. The Missouri Senior Report 2007 is a tremendous tool to assist policy makers and personnel involved in senior services.
As the Official Senior Advocate for the State of Missouri, I commend the Department of Health and Senior Services and the University of Missouri Office of Social and Economic Data Analysis for their work and collaboration to gather, distill and produce the Missouri Senior Report 2007. We are all committed to a better, healthier and more secure future for all seniors.
Sincerely,
Peter D. Kinder
Lieutenant Governor
