The Great Reconnection: Equity in Action
Although people are living longer than ever, how long we live is significantly impacted by demographic factors like where we live, our race, and our socio-economic status. In this episode, we highlight one of the panels from AgeGuide’s 2nd Annual Aging Summit. Together with thought leaders in the Aging field, participants delved into the question, “How can we make longevity equitable for all?”
The Equity in Action panel featured Ian Hartman-O’Connell, Director of Policy Integration at AARP; Professor Brian Kaskie from the University of Iowa; Paula Basta, former Director of IDoA, and AgeGuide CEO, Marla Fronczak. The panel candid conversation about how we can all impact equity in longevity.
