Governments, businesses, health care providers, and other groups must increasingly find ways to recognize the needs and strengths of individuals dealing with aging-associated diseases in the community. On February 20, 2019, the Evidence-Based Health Policy Project held a Capitol Briefing on strategies to create aging- and dementia-friendly in Wisconsin. Panelists from the University of Wisconsin, along with state, local, and tribal units of government, discussed current data, programs, and policies for lawmakers and others to consider.
