Retirement Concerns on Aging

Are you getting to that point in life where age has become a concern? Read on!!!On March 27, at the American Society on Aging’s annual Aging in America® conference, the HRC Foundation’s Health & Aging team and SAGE were presented with ASA’s Collaborative Partnership Award in recognition of our groundbreaking “Inclusive Care for LGBTQ+ Elders” initiative. Through that project we: • Developed an intersectional training curriculum for aging-services providers • Created openly licensed guides and tool-kits to improve cultural competency in health and long-term care settings • Convened coalitions of service agencies, policymakers, and older LGBTQ+ leaders to drive system-wide change That award honors the way we’ve worked together—uniting SAGE’s decades of direct service and advocacy with HRC’s policy expertise—to ensure every older LGBTQ+ person can access affirming, competent care as they grow older.
