Arts & Culture and Healthier Aging: Dr. Louise Aronson on Aging, Ageism, and the Future of Elderhood

Ashby Village Arts & Culture and Healthier Aging Present: Louise Aronson, MD, Geriatrician and Acclaimed Author of "Elderhood" Speaking on Aging, Ageism, and the Future of Elderhood The case for expanding how we view old age, improve geriatric care, and empower elders to retain agency and maximize wellness as we age. Hear how the negative stereotyping of older adults affects our health and wellbeing. How does the "disease model" of old age affect the quality of our medical care? How does the medicalization of aging and dying impact older adults' wishes and dignity? Learn more about the substantial changes in both medicine and society needed to promote the health, wellbeing and safety of those of us living into elderhood. Hear Dr. Aronson make the case for a more nuanced, expanded, and creative view of elderhood, asking “What if the greatest limitations of aging come from our imaginations and policies, not our physiologies?” Dr. Aronson is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a professor of medicine at UCSF, as well as a practicing geriatrician. A New York Times best-selling author, Aronson’s most recent book, Elderhood, Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine and Reimagining Life, was acclaimed by readers and critics alike. In 2020 Elderhood was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction. Dr. Aronson's book: https://louisearonson.com/books/elder...
