Governments, businesses, health care providers, and other groups must increasingly find ways to recognize the needs and strengths of individuals dealing with aging-associated diseases in the community. Join the Evidence-Based Health Policy Project for a Capitol Briefing on strategies to create aging- and dementia-friendly in Wisconsin. Panelists from the University of Wisconsin, along with state and local governments, will discuss current data, programs, and policies for lawmakers and others to consider.
