As the official senior advocate for Missouri, I invite you to take a look at the 2009 Missouri Senior Report. Each year, this report provides more data and reveals more trends that can be used to educate the public and inform communities about the well-being of our senior population. Topics in this year’s report include the impact of local tax levies on funding services for seniors and a discussion of health disparities among Missouri seniors.
I encourage you to view the report and the additional data and features, which are available on the Web at
: www.MissouriSeniorReport.org.
Missouri’s diverse older population is growing by leaps and bounds. Our state needs reliable data to understand seniors’ current needs and to project how the needs of baby boomers may be different than those of previous generations. I applaud the Department of Health and Senior Services and the University of Missouri Office of Social and Economic Data Analysis for developing and issuing this valuable annual report in order to enhance the lives of Missouri’s seniors.
Sincerely,
Peter D. Kinder
Lieutenant Governor
