We’re unveiling a major national survey with NORC at the University of Chicago that reveals the hopes, fears and attitudes of aging in America across five age groups and explores what really matters to individuals for healthcare, social services, quality of life and caregiving.
We’re also taking a look back over the past year with the Gary and Mary West Senior Dental Center through our collaborative partnerships to explore lessons learned and best practices for enabling a community-based system of coordinated and comprehensive care for seniors which includes oral health.
