*ASWB CE Credit Changes 2018: Beginning September 25, 2018, ASA will no longer be able to  issue ASWB CE credits for recorded web seminar attendance. You can only claim ASWB CE credit if you watch "Reframing in the Healthcare Sector" at 10:00am PT on September 26, 2018. We apologize for any inconvenience. This change is due to ASWB ACE Provider distance learning requirements.

Ageism in any part of our society is wrong, but it can be dangerous in the healthcare sector, especially if it leads to the under- or over-treatment of older people or the failure to detect mistreatment. Based on research and communication recommendations from the Reframing Aging Project, learn about ageism in healthcare and efforts to effect systems-level change to cultivate age-friendly healthcare for all. Our presenters represent national and state/local foundations and organizations that are actively working to Reframe Aging across the healthcare sector.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

  • Describe the broader issue of ageism in the healthcare sector and the effects on health outcomes for older people;
  • Discuss how the Reframing Aging Project research and communication recommendations apply to the healthcare setting;
  • Identify how foundations are using Reframing Aging Project research and communication recommendations to support systems-level change in healthcare;
  • Discuss organizational and agency-level approaches to foster “buy-in” and methods to integrate Reframing Aging into work with older people.

Presenters:

Marcus R. Escobedo, MPA, is senior program officer and communications director at The John A. Hartford Foundation, a private, national philanthropy dedicated to improving the care of older adults. His grants portfolio includes projects focused on improving care of older adults in the acute care setting and through policy and communications.
