Arkansas is aging. By 2030, about 1 in 5 Arkansans will be 65 or older. Twenty years ago, that age group made up 14% of the state’s population. An aging populace requires an infrastructure that can accommodate increased demands on our healthcare system and a robust workforce that can provide the necessary long-term care and support. For an in-depth discussion on this topic, Rachel Bunch joins us on the Wonks at Work podcast. She’s executive director of the Arkansas Health Care Association, which represents more than 90% of the licensed long-term care facilities in the state and recently announced plans to launch a new nursing school.

Health Policy Board Policy Positions and Statements
ACHI’s Health Policy Board consists of 21 voting members (and two ex-officio members) from across the state who bring diverse perspectives and interests on health. This independent, self-perpetuating board identifies and establishes strategic priorities, provides direction and guidance, and serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas. The Health Policy Board guides ACHI’s involvement in and position on specific policy matters, and it issues position statements that articulate the health needs of Arkansans.
