American Society on Aging Season 3 Episode 3

This podcast episode focuses on federal and state policies impacting older people living with, and vulnerable to, HIV. Terri Wilder and Aaron Tax from SAGE—the country’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ older people—join ASA’s President and CEO Leanne Clark-Shirley to discuss recent and upcoming legislative changes and the implications for healthcare access, long-term-care protections, and other quality-of-life issues for individuals aging with HIV. The episode highlights SAGE’s work advocating for public policy changes that address the needs of LGBTQ+ older people and providing education and technical assistance for aging services providers and LGBTQ+ organizations.
