Alaska Statewide Summit on Aging

The Alaska Statewide Summit on Aging (virtual and in-person options) will address the growing needs of Alaska’s senior population focusing on innovation, cultural relevance and transforming the way we think about aging. Sessions will explore how Rural Health Transformation and other statewide reform efforts intersect with aging and disability services, including healthcare access and care coordination, dementia and chronic disease prevention, senior behavioral health, aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities, healthcare workforce capacity and provider sustainability, elder justice and housing and home- and community-based services that support aging in place. Content will be organized into targeted tracks for different audiences while maintaining a shared statewide perspective. Key goals include inspiring policy support for safe and independent aging, fostering cross-sector collaboration, generating actionable outcomes and shared advocacy priorities, and supporting development of Alaska’s next State Plan for Senior Services.
We have combined forces with the Aging and Disability Summit traditionally held at Special Olympics in Anchorage to bring you this Summit on Aging.
