Virtual News Conference: Older Lives Are Not Expendable
Yesterday, LeadingAge held another press conference to sound alarms that aging services providers still desperately need PPE and testing—and to question why the nation has still not prioritized our most vulnerable older Americans. The media event was the latest part of our aggressive media and messaging campaign to demand more from leaders.

Our own Katie Smith Sloan, was joined by Adam Marles from LeadingAge PA, and Jim Bernard from Presbyterian Senior Living, who offered the media a glimpse into what this pandemic is really like for members like you. Adam echoed one of the most important messages of the day, saying “I am outraged by talk of how lives are expendable. Older Americans’ lives are not expendable—they’re precious, just like yours or mine.”

Participating press including reporters from NBC, USA Today, Philadelphia Inquirer, The Washington Post, Barron’s, and others, including McKnight’s, which ran stories this morning that reflect our core messages well:
