The Coalition works to fulfill its mission through Action Teams of members who have identified concerns that impact the state’s ability to support an adequate public-private infrastructure; and the resources needed to be in place to prevent, detect, treat, understand, intervene in, and, where appropriate, prosecute elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
