Great start to the LeadingAge conference day!

It was great to have Director Cohen visit us in CT! Public health is at its finest when we collaborate and elevate our work from the federal, to state, to local level. Together we will help protect Americans themselves and their families.

This #WorkforceWednesday, we're sharing how you can create opportunities for advancement. Caregiving professionals need opportunities to learn new skills--without clear opportunities for advancement, staff are more likely to seek out a new job. buff.ly/3dfdLdY

Nonprofit and mission-driven aging services organizations are making America a better place to grow old. #LeadingAge is proud to support them.

As students & faculty return to school, it's time to plan the semester. Be sure the LeadingAge Annual Meeting + EXPO is on your radar! This is a great event to learn, network, & jump-start a career in aging services. Scholarships available: buff.ly/3NKqocY #LeadingAge22

Important study by @YaleSPH @CDCgov & @CTDPH, covered well by @AlexPutterman. @GovNedLamont prioritized nursing homes and the elderly, over 75% of CT seniors 65+ are now vaccinated and today's 7 day average of COVID-related deaths is at its lowest since early November.

Our members are working hard to vaccinate their communities. Thank you for all that you are doing! #GetVaccinated Photo credit: LeadingAge Member Asbury
