What if…

we could successfully age? What would that look and feel like?

we focused on asking seniors what they want this next chapter in life to look like?

we made healthcare access "color blind" while recognizing racial, ethnic, and cultural differences in how care needs to be delivered?

we exposed our children to the gifts of older adults at school to inspire a future generation of professionals to work with this population?

we financially incentivized keeping patents at home equal to the financial penalties for readmissions?

we changed the aging culture to be treated as a cornerstone of society?

we used technology to close the geographic access gap?

we all asked the question what more can I do?

we treated lay caregivers like family ones?

we were just as passionate about seniors as we are about our pets?

we surveyed the upper management of LTC facilities and found their passions? Have them use their passion with the residents each weak to gain perspective?

we attempted to "cure" fears (patient and family)?

we looked at a senior not as a list of diseases but instead as a spirit housed in a body that has weathered storms?

we incentivized healing as much as treating?

we truly unplugged the leaders of companies 2 days per month for a total of 4 hours to give them time for generative thought?

we took a conscious journey with our care partners and patients?

we funded care in the home as well as we fund institutional care?

we create community as we grow older?

we disrupted aging?

we changed the goals of health interventions from recovery and gains in fitness to keeping functional abilities stable to slow down losses?
