Advanced Old Age In America: What Can We Count On?

The Altarum Institute’s Center for Elder Care and Advanced Illness roundtable features an all-star lineup of gerontologists, policy analysts, nonprofit and political stakeholders. 

Experts on aging will debate a wide range of issues, including costs, social service needs, caregiver shortage, needs of elderly experiencing cognitive decline, policy strategies and the role of local coalitions, commissions, and communities in our aging nation.

For those who can’t make it in person, the roundtable is also available via live webcast (register in advance).

Philadelphia chapter: Fetal surgery expert event at CHOP

AHCJ chapter event

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is hosting a Philadelphia chapter meeting for the Association of Health Care Journalists on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

The focus is on fetal surgery, a field that has delivered big changes in spina bifida treatment and other complex conditions diagnosed before birth.

The sessions will kick off at 5:55 pm with a Welcome-Intro from Dr. Scott Adzick, CHOP’s Surgeon-in-Chief, and at 6:05 pm, we go to breakout groups, enabling us to rotate through six short presentations.

Health journalism saves lives.
