Ramsey Alwin of the National Council on Aging, Ellie Hollander of Meals on Wheels America, Sandy Markwood of USAging, and Martha Roherty of ADvancing States share how nutrition, health promotion, caregiver support, transportation, and other community-based services make a difference every day. The conversation also highlights the urgent need to reauthorize and adequately fund the Older Americans Act as the nation’s older population and demand for services continue to grow and the importance of confirming the current nominee for Secretary of Aging, Mary Lazare. Guests offer a compelling look at why investing in the Aging Network benefits older adults and families while helping reduce the need for more costly health care and long-term care.\nTo contact your member of Congress to support their reauthorizing of the Older Americans Act go to Congress.gov to locate your Representative.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/A6BxLZFdi_lzwh92rj_a7szQQhfOMW5UeTUU3OTiXls/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MDE3/YTljZDg4MjE0ZjJh/NDkwZjdmNTIwZWJk/MGY4ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
