Aging and Disability Business Institute, Phase III: Advancing Equity and Excellence through Sustainable Networks and Partnerships

Grant Summary

Health happens in homes and communities. U.S. health systems are increasingly recognizing this by focusing on social determinants, which account for over 80 percent of a person’s health. This grant, co-funded with The SCAN Foundation, will continue support for the Aging and Disability Business Institute at USAging, which builds the skills of community-based social service organizations to more effectively partner with health systems, plans and public health to improve the health and well-being of older adults in the communities in which they live. This phase of work will capitalize on the Foundation’s effort to organize an Age-Friendly Ecosystem and enhance capacity of aging and disability community-based organizations and networks of organizations to equitably serve older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers by partnering with health systems and public health.
