A Message from Katie Smith Sloan, LeadingAge National
LeadingAge president and CEO Katie Smith Sloan wrote a new message on making 2021 a new beginning for older Americans.
For too many older Americans 2020 was filled with death, suffering, and fear. The beginning of vaccinations and a little more relief from Congress are important milestones, but COVID-19 has laid bare deep flaws in our systems for supporting the more than 8.3 million older adults who receive long-term care, and the more than 6 million workers who serve them.
Read Katie’s entire message on the future and what the Biden Administration and Congress must do to help older Americans during the pandemic and beyond.
