Several months after the original proposal of Healthy Pennsylvania, the commission will begin their work.

Long Term Care in Utah
Utah lies in the West and provides residents with scenic views in nearly every corner of the state, from desert valleys to dense forests. The semi-arid climate leads to extreme temperatures during the various seasons; however, Utah, unlike most of the midwest, is spared from frequent thunderstorms. The economy relies largely on tourism and the people in Utah are some of the healthiest in the country according to various reports. Utah is frequently named as one of the best states to live in according to Gallup polls, and Forbes recently named it as one of the best states for business. Long[…]

Texas is home to a quickly growing senior population and the number of Texans with Alzheimer’s is expected to triple in the next 35 years, making long term care planning a priority for Boomers across Texas.

In the Midwest lies South Dakota, one of the few states in America with a lot of land and not a lot of people. South Dakota is famous for its large numbers of Native Americans, specifically the Lakota and Dakota tribes, for which the state was named. The state has a small but booming economy, regularly being named in the top 10 states for business, with continuously low unemployment.
