It’s Older Americans Month: Spread the Word!
May is Older Americans Month (OAM), celebrated with the theme Age My Way. LeadingAge will use the occasion to address two major challenges for older adults: lack of awareness of existing aging services and a crisis in access to care. Turnkey member OAM materials are now available for your use locally including videos, social media graphics and text, and more from our new Keep Leading Life public service campaign.

LeadingAge Coronavirus Update Call for Week of May 2nd: New Normal, Again? How’s That Going to Look? What Next?
As we enter our third year in the pandemic a group of leading infectious disease and public policy experts convened to create the COVID-19 Roadmap. Their goal and purpose was to lay out how the country can enter the new normal stage of the pandemic and manage the virus without eliminating it.
On our Monday, May 2nd 2:30 PM CT ,Update Call we will talk with one of the lead authors of the report, Dr. Michael Mina the Chief Science Officer of eMed and formerly a researcher at Harvard University. He will talk about the key pillars of this roadmap and answer your questions on how we can continue to protect those we serve during this new phase.
On Wednesday, May 4th at 2:30 PM CT, we will welcome Brendan Jackson from the CDC’s COVID-19 response team. He will talk about the CDC’s guidance regarding current COVID-19 treatments and take LeadingAge members questions on the latest guidance from CDC for COVID-19.
