Conversations with GIA Recording: Sustaining Innovations - Communities Respond to COVID-19
Grantmakers in Aging held a Conversations with GIA webinar Oct 7, "Sustaining Innovations: Communities Respond to COVID-19."
Our communities continue to grapple with COVID-related challenges—broader, systemic, seemingly unending issues with long-term implications that change how we think about everything. We have an opportunity to consider the future with insights from lived-experiences. What have we learned through this pandemic? What would we change in our responses? What can we carry forward into life and work beyond COVID-19?
Tufts Health Plan Foundation partnered with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative, and FSG, a mission-driven consulting firm, to research and report on six Massachusetts communities—their responses, experiences and insights from the COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar speakers discussed the key findings and recommendations to create more inclusive and equitable systems of support for older people so next time we are better prepared.
Panelists included:
- Robin M. Lipson, Deputy Secretary, Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs
- Nora Moreno Cargie, President, Tufts Health Plan Foundation and Vice President, Corporate Citizenship, Tufts Health Plan
- Melissa Oomer, Director, FSG
- Moderated by John Feather, CEO, Grantmakers In Aging
