Embracing Age Equity in Healthcare: Overcoming Ageism

Join us for an enlightening day at the Hanley Forum 2024 on May 2nd, where we will explore ageism, age equity, and foster age-positivity in healthcare. Ageism refers to prejudice and discrimination based on age, while age equity seeks to create fairness and equal opportunities for people of all ages. Age-positivity challenges negative stereotypes of aging and celebrates the strengths and contributions of individuals at different life stages.

During this daylong event, attendees will delve into various aspects of ageism, including the impact of discrimination in healthcare, workforce development, and social services. We will explore strategies to combat ageism, such as policy changes, and age-inclusive practices. We will also acknowledge and discuss how we can enhance the experiences of marginalized older adults, such as LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and racial/ethnic minorities.

This forum isn't just about discussion – it's about action. We aim to facilitate concrete solutions and inspire attendees to implement helpful changes in their communities and workplaces. By sharing insights, networking with experts and fellow attendees, and learning from each other's experiences, we can collectively advance the cause of age equity and foster a culture of respect and inclusion in healthcare across generations.

Please join us as we hear from ageism experts, network with Hanley alumni and other leaders, and learn from your peers. As with all Hanley offerings, we offer you this open mind space to come together and create positive change.
