The Penn Neurodegenerative Disease Grand Rounds kicked off the Fall 2026 season with a visit from PA Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich who shared an update on historically expanding government benefits to all older Pennsylvanians.
The mission of the PA Department of Aging (PDA) is to ensure that older adults across Pennsylvania have access to quality services and supports that help them age and live well. With this mission in mind, the PDA offers a variety of home- and community-based services including caregiver support programs, senior community centers, housing programs, the Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly (PACE), and more.
Secretary Kavulich also discussed PDA’s multisector plan for aging, Aging Our Way, PA, which is a 10 year, state-led plan to prepare the Commonwealth for a larger, longer-living older adult population and is designed to respond to changing needs, shifting priorities and available resources.
