National Healthy Aging Symposium Recordings: Innovation Across the Age-Friendly Ecosystem
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) held the National Healthy Aging Symposium September 26 on, "Innovation Across the Age-Friendly Ecosystem." Recordings are now available.
The Symposium explored successful innovations developed to improve older adult health and well-being. It built upon the successful and ongoing collaborations between aging services and public health that began at the first National Healthy Aging Summit in 2015.
Policymakers, researchers, and professionals from across the federal government, states, tribes, territories and local communities, as well as philanthropy and academia, shared their perspectives on important topics related to healthy aging through a series of panels covering topics like caregiving, social engagement, housing, transportation, brain health, and workforce.
