How is your organization already responding to this issue and what else can you be doing? How can partnerships enhance your current engagement with seniors? What are some of the practices and products that most effectively meet the needs of older adults? What challenges have you encountered in working with this population? These and other questions will allow everyone to contribute and to identify solutions and ideas that go beyond what has already been presented.
