Missouri’s Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) respond to the needs of adults who are aging and adults with disabilities. AAAs provide service, information, and advocacy to help Missourians age with dignity, choice, and independence.
Missouri Association of Area Agencies on Aging – ma4 – is the statewide association of AAAs in Missouri.
Our Mission:
Mission: Providing advocacy, information, and services for Missourians along the aging journey.
ma4 is Missouri’s trusted resource for advocacy, information, and services for aging Missourians. Powered by ten independently operated Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), we forge strong partnerships with governmental bodies, private corporations, foundations, and community organizations to ensure older Missourians can age in the homes and communities of their choice. Together, our united voice advocates at every level of government—local, state, and federal—for the policies, resources, and funding that allow our aging friends, neighbors, and loved ones to thrive. By working in synergy, we create a brighter, more inclusive future for all Missourians as they age.
Our Vision:
All Missourians are valued and receive the right support to age well across the lifespan.
Missourians deserve to age with dignity, choice, and independence. ma4 works with partners all throughout the state to make Missouri a better place for all of us to age well.
