FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Alliance for Health Policy Announces 2025 Signature Series Theme: Addressing the Complex Health and Policy Needs of an Aging America

Washington, D.C. –  The Alliance for Health Policy is proud to announce the theme for its 2025 Signature Series: “Aging in America.” As the population of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to increase by 47% by 2050, this series will delve into the profound implications of this demographic shift and explore key questions to prepare the nation for the future of aging in health care.

Dianne Faup, board member of the Alliance for Health Policy, remarked, “As life spans increase and our population ages, we are confronted with one of the most significant challenges in modern health policy.  These older populations often have complex health related social needs which can be addressed through effective use of our federal and state programs. The opportunity is now for health policymakers to reexamine the approach to the federal budget, long-term care policy, and programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security to better serve older Americans and sustain for future generations. With so much in the balance, Aging in America is a perfect topic for the Alliance for Health Policy’s 2025 Signature Series to address.”

98% of seniors currently are covered by Medicare, and 12 million benefit from Medicaid. With nearly three-quarters of older adults requiring caregiver assistance and over 20% remaining in the workforce, the demands on the nation’s health care system, workforce, and social services are rapidly evolving.

The 2025 Signature Series will feature a range of discussions on essential issues, including the approaches needed to equip our system to support an aging population, strategies for optimizing care for seniors, and the role of health policy in addressing these needs. Experts will also explore critical policy questions, such as “What would a health system that is equipped well for an Aging America  look like?” and “What do congressional staff need to understand about aging in America?”

The Signature Series embodies the two-part approach of the Alliance programming: Incubate, which consists of insight development, strategy workshops and reports, and Educate, where the Alliance develops educational curriculum through a series of events, including a thought leader workshop, a public summit, and a congressional briefing, the Alliance for Health Policy will convene leading health experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to examine the intersection of aging and health policy. 

The Alliance is currently seeking sponsors for the 2025 Signature Series. With average attendee ratings of 94%, this program is a unique opportunity to not only support, but join the robust policy conversation.  Visit the Alliance website to discover how your organization can get involved.
