Women & Aging: What Utahns Need to Know

This episode we are going to discuss a recent research snapshot titled, “Women and Aging: What Utahns Need to Know.” This is a new research snapshot from the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) which focuses on three key areas: older women in Utah, factors affecting older women in Utah, and what Utahns can do to help improve the state of aging for women in the state.

Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by three guests. First, Amanda Lambert who is a co-author of the report and an advanced aging life care specialist, master guardian, and certified care manager. Second, we are joined by the Bolder Way Forward leaders from the 50+ Thriving Impact Team: Kathie Debenham is a professor emeritus at Utah Valley University where she created the dance department and served as the founding Dean of the School of the Arts and as an associate academic vice president; and KoShell Miller, the business unit coordinator for AARP Utah (the American Association of Retired Persons).
