長青社區前瞻性的計畫方案和經驗分享 Aging in Community (AIC) Promising Programs & Lessons Learned
Aging-In-Community has been the preferred way to aging. What are some promising programs that promote aging-in-community? How do older adult participants perceive their ability to remaining independent at home and their neighborhood social cohesiveness? How might demographics such as age, marital status, & education play a role? This presentation will share surprising findings from three promising AIC programs in the United States. The audience will participate in live discussions on the strengths and challenges of current AIC models and programs and share adaptation ideas considering their own culture and values to improve quality aging-in-community, together.
演講者: 侯書逸教授 (美麗的前會長），Professor and Founding Director of the new School of Global Health Management and Informatics, College of Community Innovation & Education (CCIE) at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL.
