The Commission on Aging will hear about the intersection of COVID-19, older adults, and social determinants of health. The meeting will include guest experts and a discussion about what our community can do better to address health inequities in the places where we live, learn, work, and play. The discussion will address social determinants of health relevant to older adults and what can be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to address health disparities in our community.

The discussion will take place during the Commission on Aging’s monthly meeting at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18. Meetings are currently in an online format.

Meeting guests include:

• Judy Zerzan-Thul, Chief Medical Officer, Washington State Health Care Authority
• Gillian Feldmeth, Value-Based Strategy and Evaluation Director, NowPow
