This episode is to help everybody understand what area agencies on aging do all across the country and your state.

I talk with Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging's Communications Manager Steve Centofanti.

COAAA is one of twelve area agencies on aging in the state of Ohio, and one of more than 650 area agencies on aging in the United States.
