This week on The Senior Zone, we’re looking at two important parts of aging well: maintaining purpose and protecting our health.

First, Shawn Perry is joined by Scott Bening, former CEO of MonoSol and author of The Back Nine, for a conversation about retirement, identity, relevance and finding meaning in life’s next chapter.

Then, Dr. Laura Williams, Chief Patient Officer at Ardelyx, joins the show to discuss patient advocacy, access to care, health disparities and what it will take to help more Americans live longer, healthier lives.

Plus, we close out the hour with Birthdays of the Week, Dear Grave Woman with Joelle Simone, and the Later Life Lowdown.

It’s another hour of conversation designed to help us stay informed, stay engaged and keep living with purpose—at every age.

Thank you for listening and until we meet again…keep your head high, your heart full, and always — be someone who makes someone else look forward to their tomorrow.
