In April, Associate Professor Carrie Graham, PhD, and Professor Stephen Kaye, PhD, of the Institute for Health & Aging and the Community Living Policy Center, will testify before the California state senate and assembly budget committees. They will advocate for a new module in the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to collect information from seniors and people with disabilities about their needs for long-term services and supports (LTSS), sources of care and unmet needs for the first time in CHIS’s 17-year history. This data will be essential for planning for health care and social services as the California population ages. Drs. Graham and Kaye will be testifying on behalf of the LTSS Coalition, the stakeholders who are sponsoring the bill.
