Views and Perspectives on Averting the Senior Health Crisis
A conversation with health practitioners, industry thought leaders, and the media

A Panel Discussion
Between 2005 and 2030 the number of adults aged 65 and older will almost double, from 37 million to over 70 million, accounting for an increase from 12 percent of the US population to almost 20 percent. The impact of this trend is broad.

Topics ranging from the shortage of geriatric trained specialists to patient self care and from cost containment and reimbursement to the impact of the health care platforms of the presidential candidates are top of mind for all of us involved in senior healthcare.

This panel of experts that includes practitioners, policy analysts, and media covering the healthcare industry will discuss these topics and invite a dialogue with conference attendees in order to broaden perspectives and imagine solutions.
