GIA and GIH Webinar: Advancing Age-Friendly Public Health: Learnings from Michigan and Mississippi
Grantmakers in Aging (GIA) and Grantmakers in Health (GIH) are co-hosting a webinar, "Advancing Age-Friendly Public Health: Learnings from Michigan and Mississippi," on July 6.
The public health sector’s focus on prevention has had a profound impact on longevity in the U.S. As the demographics of our population continue to shift, public health should elevate healthy aging as a core public health function, with a foundational focus on equity. Since 2017, Trust for America's Health, with support from JAHF, has led the Age-Friendly Public Health Systems movement to make the health and well-being of older adults a public health priority. This work is implemented in several states, including Florida, Michigan, Mississippi and Washington.
This webinar will highlight the efforts in Michigan and Mississippi where the Age-Friendly Ecosystem is expanding with growing partnerships and collaborations. Many of these efforts offer opportunities for further collaboration and ways for funders to get involved.
Speakers include:
- Clare Tanner, PhD, Michigan Public Health Institute
- Kina White, DrPH, MHSA, FACHE, Mississippi State Department of Health
- Megan Wolfe, JD, Trust for America's Health
