In this episode of the In Service of Health podcast, Dr. Joneigh Khaldun sits down with Ramsey Alwin, President and CEO of the National Council on Aging (NCOA), for a conversation about the key issues facing the aging population and explore meaningful opportunities for the public health sector to support seniors. Alwin shares initiatives and programs that NCOA offers to support the aging population, such as fall prevention and chronic disease self-management.
