Aging is inevitable — but how we prepare for it, talk about it, and support one another through it is entirely within our power to change. This first session of our two-part virtual series invites Forum members to take a bold, clear-eyed look at what it means to grow older today and what it will take to do it better.
Our first session sets the stage with an honest examination of the current aging landscape. From healthcare and housing to financial security and social isolation, we’ll explore the realities and challenges facing older adults — and the systemic issues that too often go unaddressed.
Featured Panelists:
- Yocasta Lora, Associate State Director of Advocacy & Community Engagement at AARP
- Honorable Sheila A. Woods-Skipper of the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas
Moderator:
- Honorable Lori A. Dumas of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court
This is a virtual series that is open to all Forum members.
