AARP Maryland Applauds Launch of Longevity Ready Maryland

Plan coordinates services for older Marylanders across state agencies and sectors.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AARP Maryland is welcoming the launch of Longevity Ready Maryland, a comprehensive, 10-year multisector plan to coordinate services and policies that support Maryland's growing population of older adults.

"With more than 850,000 AARP members across Maryland, we know firsthand the urgency of preparing for a future where older adults make up a growing share of our population. Longevity Ready Maryland is a forward-thinking, inclusive strategy that recognizes the vital role of collaboration across sectors," said AARP Maryland State Director Hank Greenberg. "By aligning resources and strengthening community-based supports, this plan lays the foundation for a Maryland where every older adult can age with dignity, independence, and purpose."

The launch of Longevity Ready Maryland comes on the heels of a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau that the number of Marylanders age 65 and older grew by 3.35% from 2023 to 2024, while the number of those under age 18 fell by 0.06%.
