It’s the season 2 finale of the Age of Aging! To celebrate, we welcomed back guests from Seasons 1 and 2 and asked them to dream big to improve aging in America.
In this episode, you’ll hear a wide range of ideas: from integrated child and eldercare to ballet training for young adults to walkable communities and many more. This episode is an opportunity to think idealistically about the world, hear ideas from people in the Penn Memory Center community, and develop some ideas of your own.
Season 3 of the Age of Aging will begin early next year. Subscribe to our Age of Aging news magazine to be the first to know when new episodes drop.
