摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has made starkly clear that the public health system in the United States can significantly impact the health and well-being of older adults. Prior to the pandemic, healthy aging was not prioritized by public health agencies, despite the growing population of individuals ages 65 and older. Trust for America's Health, in partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation, has been working to expand the public health role in healthy aging, as well as better coordinate with age-friendly movements, both of which have contributed to a more efficient and effective COVID-19 response.
