The Patrick-Murray Administration is working with the federal government and local partners to determine what we can do to assist our vibrant Haitian community during this very tragic time.
The Patrick-Murray Administration has launched a new statewide initiative to encourage adults of all ages to plan for their future long-term needs. The "Embrace Your Future" campaign promotes earlier planning for later life and offers options for controlling your future by planning ahead. Growing older is a lifelong process that requires thoughtful planning along the way.
