The 2024 Older Americans Month theme is “Powered by Connection”, a focus that underscores the importance social connections have on the health and well-being of older adults. Given the serious negative health effects of social isolation and loneliness, the public health sector can lead strategies to improve connection through innovative and collaborative cross-sector approaches. The May AFPHS training focuses on equitable strategies to promote connection among older people.
The speaker for this training is Phil Bors, Senior Project Director with Healthy Places by Design.
