Learn and Connect at the Annual Aging in America Conference
By Heather Hogstrom
The American Society on Aging (ASA) Aging in America Conference will be held March 20 to 24 in Washington, D.C., which boasts many iconic sites, from the White House and Capitol Building to the Washington Monument. For those wishing to do some sightseeing upon arriving in our nation’s capitol, attendees can preregister for Sunday’s guided coach bus tours. The morning tour will feature D.C.’s memorials, including the Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, and Iwo Jima Memorial, while the evening tour will show off the city’s monuments lit up at night and finish with dinner at an Italian restaurant. Attendees can also take the opportunity to see how two locations are serving the needs of the community by visiting Iona Senior Services or the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Inter-Generational Center.
Washington, D.C. is the perfect setting for a discussion on politics, and with the election approaching there are many questions to be answered regarding policy. The “2016 Panel of Pundits” will cover topics relevant to health care and older adults. Another session, “Patient Centered Care: Translating Patients’ Wishes Into Federal and State Policy,” will provide thoughts from patients and caregivers about their end-of-life care while providing information about current legislation and new policy ideas.
