The Columbia Aging Center (aging.columbia.edu) presents Megan Wolfe who will discuss how the U.S. public health sector has made significant contributions to the longevity of the U.S. population, and yet, as a whole, the U.S. public health system has not adopted an age-friendly approach to population health. Trust for America’s Health implemented the Age-Friendly Public Health Systems initiative to elevate healthy aging as a core public health function. This seminar will explore the initiative, from its inception to multi-state expansion, and examine the importance of collaboration across all sectors to support older adult health and well-being.
