🌟 Aging Well, Living Well 🌟
Our co-founder and co-owner Alice Lai-Bitker had the privilege of attending Kaiser Permanente’s Aging Well Summit today, October 7th. The summit brought together state and local leaders, geriatricians, community advocates, and experts to explore innovations that support healthy aging — at home, in our communities, and across health systems.
✨ With the powerful reminder that 1 in 4 Californians will be 60 or older by 2030, the event’s keynote speakers, Ashton Applewhite (writer and anti-ageism activist) and Rita Moreno (iconic actress, performer, and inspirational speaker), inspired attendees to envision a future where older adults live long, live well, and age with dignity.
It was a wonderful opportunity for Alice to reconnect with peers in the field — Lara Calvert, Executive Director of Spectrum Community Services, and May Funabiki with Senior Injury Prevention. Fun fact: Alice and May were both trained as instructors for the Matter of Balance Fall Prevention program years ago!
Also great to see Brendalynn Goodall, Commissioner of the CA Commission on Aging — a familiar face from over 15 years ago when she and Alice first crossed paths working on aging issues. 💛
