Description
Alisha Thompson, Barbara Mendez Campos, and Laneshia Conner presented this symposium overview in 2024 on diversity and aging. The piece compares the parts of diversity to ingredients in a favorite recipe: each person's mix shapes how they age and how healthy they stay. The symposium gathered talks and discussion on how these factors play out in later life, with race and ethnicity as the starting point.
Sessions covered end-of-life care choices during serious illness and the duty to give culturally sensitive care. Another session took up partner violence among older immigrants, an often-hidden problem with its own patterns. Later talks widened the lens to thinking, hearing, and vision differences, linking sensory loss to pain and to gaps in telehealth use. The authors aim to equip providers, policymakers, and advocates to build fairer care for older adults.
