Additionally, AAA directly provides information and assistance, preventive health care and disease prevention, linkages and respite programs, Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy and performs the program development, coordination, administration, and planning of the local AAA.

Without submission the AAA Area Plan, the County AAA would not receive funding for OAA Titles III, III-E and VII services to older County residents.
