COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT for Seniors - and More

COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT

SAPC is meeting with our U.S. Representative Brittany Pettersen in the next few weeks. Rep Pettersen wishes to discuss senior needs in our rural area. We believe it would be very helpful to have current data going into the meeting that we could leave with her and her team. We have posted a brief survey, which will take less than two minutes to complete, on our website. The link to the survey is https://seniorsalliance.org/sapc-survey/. Please help us accurately represent the issues that are important to you by completing the survey. If you prefer phone conversation, the survey is attached and you can call our office at 720.385.8300 and leave your responses with an office volunteer or in a voice message. We truly appreciate your valuable feedback. See attached survey
