Policy Project
For this project you will select an issue and revise/rewrite a corresponding piece of policy. You
can select any issue as long as it relates to aging. Use something of interest or personally,
professionally, academically. You may decide to examine mental health policy (funding,
treatment provision) services 3enior centers, hospice, health policy, nursing homes, etc. When
