Community Impact

In 2021, a community assessment was conducted through the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging with support from staff and students of Age-Friendly Columbus and Franklin County, the Upper Arlington Commission on Aging Board of Directors and ETC Institute to help define the perceived needs and assets of older adults living with the community of Upper Arlington Ohio.

This assessment was made possible by the generous support of the Upper Arlington Community Foundation and the Upper Arlington Senior Association, Senior Advisory Council.
