On December 5, 2017 the “It Takes YOUR Community” symposium was hosted by Altarum’s Center for Elder Care & Advanced Illness in Washington, DC. This post provides an edited videocast of the event and the edited transcript with links to presentation slides as well as a Resource POD. The primary goal of this symposium was to bring together fellow stakeholders and interest groups involved in addressing the needs of the growing elder population at the policy and grassroots level, and to discuss possible strategies as to how we can stay engaged and think about building community-anchored care systems across the country.
Our diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists provided in-depth insight, as well as actionable and practical tools of advocacy models necessary to plan for the community-based health and long-term service and support (LTSS) needs of a growing older population.
The Symposium Transcript has been edited for clarity and readability and includes links the background resources that presenters provided [for additional resources see our Resource POD]. Additionally, here is the final agenda, for your reference.
