Description: Now is the time to examine the critical factors that contribute to healthy aging. Older Americans are a key part of our urban, rural, and tribal communities, since they have spent a lifetime contributing. It is estimated that by 2030, more than 72 million adults will be age 65 and older. The 2015 Healthy Aging Summit will specifically highlight the science of healthy aging and preventive services and identify policy gaps that can be pursued to improve the quality of life for older adults. A greater understanding of the social, environmental and emotional factors that influence health in the later years of life can improve quality of life and reduce health care costs.
The Summit will promote healthy aging policy and teach professionals how to improve the delivery of preventive services. Attendee demographics include:
- clinicians, providers, and public health practitioners
- advocacy and nonprofit organizations
- educators and students
- policymakers and government agencies
The 2015 Healthy Aging Summit goals are to:
- Explore the science on healthy aging;
- Identify knowledge gaps that need to be filled;
- Promote the role of prevention and preventive services in improving quality of life in later years; and
- Mobilize action to improve the delivery of care for those aging in place or in transition.
