Using Law and Policy as Tools to Support Healthy Aging in Healthy Communities

Event Description: 

The goal of the Healthy People Law and Health Policy project is to highlight how evidence-based legal and policy interventions and strategies can facilitate progress toward Healthy People objectives by improving community health and well-being. As part of this project, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is hosting a webinar on how laws and policies can be used as tools to create communities that are supportive and connected environments for older adults. 

This webinar will build on lessons from the July 2018 Healthy Aging Summit, which focused on maximizing the health of older adults through prevention strategies. Presenters will discuss how disability laws and healthy homes policies can support healthy aging in place. Community examples will demonstrate innovative efforts that help older adults live independently as well as create healthy living environments for all.
