About the Link

The Allegheny Link is one of two pilot programs in Pennsylvania funded by the Governor's Office of Health Care Reform in collaboration with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare with a grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Administration on Aging.

The mission of the Allegheny Link is to simplify and streamline access to long-term living services and supports; provide assistance to consumers who are seeking services and making long-term living decisions; and to increase awareness and provide reliable information.

This is a collaborative effort among local agencies, organizations and individual consumers.
