Mission Statement
MAC is the designated area agency on aging for Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties. MAC is dedicated to the principle that older persons are entitled to lives of dignity, security, physical, mental, and social well-being; and to full participation in society.
To achieve our purpose for all older persons, MAC, an equal opportunity employer and service provider, serves as a focal point from which to address social and economic needs identified by older persons; and to provide a full range of services including health, nutrition, transportation, employment, education, recreation, and long term care services.
The EPA Educational Program in conjunction with MAC, Inc. is committed to raising public awareness of environmental concerns across generations by creating a forum for citizens of all ages in Dorchester, Worcester and Wicomico Counties on the lower eastern shore of Maryland.
