The Third Annual Re-envisioning Elder Care Conference was held on September 9, 2022 by the Florida Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Programs at Florida State and Nova Southeastern Universities. This joint conference explored a number of timely issues impacting the care of older adults. Our discussions focused on topics ranging from strengthening the eldercare workforce, newer financing initiatives to supplement Medicare, ensuring diversity and equity in long-term care, and a review of the newly released report on “National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality.”
