GIA Webinar: Rides That Save Lives
Grantmakers in Aging (GIA) is holding a webinar on April 27, "Rides That Save Lives."
As the country continues to reel from COVID-19, partners are rallying to ensure older adults have access to the vaccine. Transportation is an integral part of the solution to stabilize the health and wellbeing of older adults, particularly in rural communities. The webinar will feature the successes of rural communities in providing older adults access to the vaccine through nimble, creative approaches and will discuss the important role the philanthropic community has in catalyzing these successes and in engaging diverse partners with the social determinants of health. The webinar will also feature Rides that Save Lives, a new community toolkit from the Rural Transportation Incubator, an initiative of Age Friendly Arizona, sponsored by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and several national partners.
Speakers include:
- Earl Millett, Program Officer, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation
- Suzanne Pfister, President and CEO, Vitalyst Health Foundation
- Kent Ellsworth, Executive Director, Verde Valley Caregivers Coalition
- Moderated by Lindsay Goldman, CEO of GIA
The webinar is part of the “Overcoming Access and Acceptance Obstacles with Older Adults” series and is presented by GIA, Generations United, and the American Federation for Aging Research, and sponsored by The John A. Hartford Foundation.
