Community Needs Assessment 2022

Gathering data about the lives and experiences of older adults in Pima County

The Community Needs Assessment is a crucial component of how PCOA structures and delivers its services to adults 60+ and family caregivers. The information is gathered through the Community Health & Aging Survey, focus groups with community stakeholders, and ten Community Listening Sessions.

Community Listening Sessions Sept 22 – Nov 9 Gathering your experiences and concerns about aging and aging services Over the next two months PCOA will also be hosting a series of ten community listening sessions, including one virtual listening session via Zoom. This is an opportunity to discuss your experiences and concerns about aging and aging services with other community members, representatives from PCOA, and other community partners.
