A panel of national and local experts, including University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala, convened on August 8 to discuss the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly growing senior population and how older adults and those who care for and about them can confront the challenges honestly and with purpose. The town hall-style event, held at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, came on the heels of a recent survey from UnitedHealthcare, the National Council on Aging, and USA Today that shows that baby boomers, while optimistic about aging and confident that the next phase of their lives will be better than the last, are concerned about their financial future and long-term health costs. Above: President Shalala, right, who was secretary of health and human services in the Clinton administration, is interviewed by Sharon Jayson, behavior and relationships reporter for USA Today. | more |
