How might we accelerate equitable policy change and health-systems improvement for and with older Americans?

Partners & Funders

The Project

The Public Policy Lab and The SCAN Foundation are launching a new initiative to accelerate policy change and health-systems improvement for and with older Americans, especially those from Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), low-income, and geographically underserved or rural communities.

The Outcome

By developing the right kind of public data, from the highest priority populations, while building a coalition of committed partners to use that data, this project has the opportunity to shift the conversation on what needs to be done to build a society that works for older adults, their families, and all of us.
