The purpose of the Consortium was to gather and disseminate information to support Johnson County as a community that supports successful aging. The Consortium worked diligently for two years to release a comprehensive market analysis in 2005. The market analysis of opportunities for successful aging in Johnson County could not have been completed without the kind support provided by the Heritage Area Agency on Aging, the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center, Johnson County Public Health, the Johnson County Task Force on Aging, the University of Iowa College of Public Health, and the University of Iowa Center on Aging. The following individuals also provided help in creating the vision to guide the research, including Steve Atkins, Linda Kopping, Elizabeth Selk, Carol Thompson, Ralph Wilmoth, and Connie Benton-Wolfe.
