Episode Synopsis


Our newest podcast episode kicks off an eight-part series that captures engaging conversations from CABHI’s 2020 What’s Next Canada conference – Canada’s premier event for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

The conference featured speakers and thought leaders from around the world, including Jean Accius, Senior Vice President, Thought Leadership and International Affairs, AARP.

In this inaugural episode, we’ll hear Dr. Accius’ keynote speech where he explores the implications of a rise in global life expectancy and what it may mean for our economy, workforce, and healthcare system. Dr. Accius considers the challenges and opportunities that stem from older adults living, learning, and earning longer than ever before. During a time when life expectancy doesn’t always equal health expectancy, Dr. Accius also asks what are the innovations and practices that we can adopt to ensure that longer, healthier aging becomes accessible to all?
