Coughlin at Carolina

Aging…well…

Joe Coughlin, PhD, is a natural entertainer and kept us mesmerized with stories and information about healthy aging. He said we need to reinvent aging, create a new narrative about aging, and create the tools and infrastructure to facilitate healthy aging. A week earlier, Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organization, had made a powerful statement about healthy aging. We’re aging, and it’s time for public health to wake up and mobilize. We’ve not done enough, and it’s time to catch up. Take a look at Coughlin’s blog to see his suggestions.

Happy Monday. Barbara
