In honor of Health Aging Month, NPQ is sharing a collection of stories we’ve published that explore the essential and community-strengthening contributions that older adults provide. As NPQ contributor Dr. Sandy Range notes, “Elders are not a burden. They are infrastructure.” In this collection, we also examine the effective strategies needed to sustain and create a level of systemic change that supports this vital infrastructure, enabling communities to age healthily and for everyone to thrive—particularly elders.
