We are all #aging! As we age, we gain experience in making decisions under stressful circumstances, an important strength for leadership. #Ageist images of frailty discount the contributions of older leaders. Learn more about the movement to #ReframeAging: https://t.co/lcDC2nQ6d5

Love this! "There is no single biological marker to identify when someone has reached old age...old age is a fluid social construct." Check out Breaking the Age Code by @BeccaLevyPhD! @HealthyAmerica1 @drklphillips

This is appalling. If these people actually used mobiltiy aids, would it disqualify them for political office? In an ageist + ableist world, yes. Shame on @newyorker, yet again, for sanctioning #discrimination—especially in a world of longer lives. https://t.co/773VXdo5vR

We need to change the narrative from public health agencies to public health practitioners. PH nurses, educators, inspectors are the ones who can tell the positive story about PH today. @nirav_uscdc #NA360

[NACCHO @NACCHOalerts]

@nirav_uscdc @CDCgov .@nirav_uscdc: Nothing changes if nothing changes. Change is scary but if we lose this moment to take the funding and revamp public health, that will have been a true failure.
