77. Aging, Isolation, & Community Living
On the new episode of Prognosis Ohio, Dan talks with Reverend Beth Long-Higgins, founding Executive Director of the United Church Homes Ruth Frost Parker Center for Abundant Aging, and Dan Fagan, Director of Population Health. They discuss how the Center is supporting the Ohio aging population through times of isolation, but also touch on issues of vaccination, ethics within senior community living, and more. United Church Homes emphasizes the need for a shift in perspective when it comes to aging and how Ohioans can maximize their extended life spans to lead what UCH calls "abundant" lives.
