Improving how we care for older adults: Toward a fairer future
In this edition of the virtual Brain TLC Lecture Series we'll discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic amplified the inequalities in our aging and health care systems and created opportunities for reform. We'll review how the current wealth-dependent system came to be and examine how to reform the way we pay for and provide long-term care to all older adults.
Dr. Walt Dawson studies the public policy implications of dementia, including its financial impact on families. His research interests include global health policy and financing long-term support. Dr. Dawson is also a Senior Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health with the Global Brain Health Institute at the University of California, San Francisco and faculty at PSU’s Institute on Aging.
Brain TLC is an on-going OHSU lecture series - open to all community members - focused on aging, dementia prevention and brain health.
