Advancing Health, Equity and Independence

A distinguished panel of keynote speakers will kick off the event by delving into the critical topic of shaping a future where aging is synonymous with health, equity, and independence. 

As life expectancy rises, addressing the root causes that contribute to health inequities is more important than ever. Our conversation will focus on sustainable strategies for mitigating these issues, laying the groundwork for a new definition of successful aging. We’ll also explore the changing relationship between caregivers and recipients, with a spotlight on the emerging preference for home-based care. Furthermore, our expert panel will evaluate the wider environmental and policy factors that are essential in shaping an inclusive future for all.

Following the keynote will be three breakout sessions, touching on the subjects of understanding experiences, innovations, and home healthcare in aging.
