Tuesday, March 02, 2021 at 02:00 to 03:30 PM

Monday, December 07, 2020 at 02:00 to 03:30 PM

The Affinity Group on Aging invites you to a program focusing on the critical determinant of health; the lack of affordable, accessible transportation for older adults.

Meeting the Diverse Needs and Preferences of Older Adults
Monday, November 04, 2024 at 02:00 to 03:30 PM

Please join MPN’s Aging Innovations Group and Seniors & Housing Collaborative for an engaging, informative program with Dr. Kali Thomas, newly arrived Stulman Professor in Aging and Community Health at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, who will share her recent research insights on the varied and changing needs and preferences of older adults, particularly in relation to home-based services. While many healthcare entities and community-based organizations are focused on bolstering and moving services to the home, they are often designed for the general target population and struggle to customize and tailor this experience.
