Each year SSC convenes people from the silos, systems, organizations and communities that touch older people in our county. Our Making the Difference conferences explore emerging issues, illuminate challenges that we need to tackle together, and spark collaborative solutions.

2023 conference

Making the Difference: Striving for Equity at the Intersection of Health, Housing and Long-Term Care

At our February 24 conference, we confronted the impact of systemic discrimination that results in unnecessary institutionalization and poorer outcomes for older people of color in Alameda County.  We explored the challenges of addressing these inequities, and the opportunities to rewrite the script so that all older people have access to the supports they need to live at home and have optimal health and life outcomes.
