Healthy Aging in the Commonwealth: Pathways to Lifelong Wellness

As the baby boom generation retires and life expectancy increases, steps can and must be taken to help seniors stay healthy, active and socially engaged. National efforts and best practices around the country will be described by our keynote speaker, Nancy Whitelaw, senior vice president for Healthy Aging, and director of the Center for Healthy Aging at the National Council on Aging. Challenges in our state as well as best practices will be analyzed in our issue brief and discussed by a panel of top state officials and nonprofit organization leaders implementing innovative and successful programs in our communities.  Speakers include Secretary of Elder Affairs, Ann Hartstein, Anita Albright from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Robert Schreiber from Hebrew Senior Life, and Rosa Palacios from Commonwealth Care Alliance.
