August 2025 AFPHS Training – Addressing Disparities through Collaboration Across the Age-Friendly Ecosystem

The health and well-being of older adults depends not just on current community conditions for healthful living, but also on the social and economic conditions experienced across the life span. When people experience economic disparities throughout their lives, this might result in cumulative disadvantages that makes it more difficult to age well. Addressing these disparities requires collaboration and partnerships across the age-friendly ecosystem. 

The August AFPHS training will highlight the importance of addressing systematic disparities to improve health outcomes for older adults. 

The speaker for this training is Dr. Deborah Carr, director of the Center of Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of sociology at Boston University.
