The AARP of Pennsylvania and the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions released a report discussing how geographic, racial and ethnic, and economic factors are combining to restrict healthcare services for many Pennsylvanians, which creates disparities that have become more obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic. On this episode of Focus on Aging Adults, we will be discussing these factors, the health disparities, and how we can address them.
Our guests are Angela Foreshaw-Rouse, Operations and Outreach Manager for AARP of Pennsylvania, Laura Gitlin, Dean of Drexel University's College of Nursing and Health Professions, and Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili, Associate Dean for Interprofessional Research and Development at the Drexel University College of Nursing and Health Professions.
