Opening Keynote by Louise Aronson, author of Elderhood
In her new book, Elderhood, noted Harvard-trained geriatrician Louise Aronson uses stories from her quarter century of caring for patients, and draws from history, science, literature, popular culture, and her own life to weave a vision of old age that’s neither nightmare nor utopian fantasy—a vision full of joy, wonder, frustration, outrage and hope about aging, medicine and humanity itself. Louise will discuss her work, her book and her take on a vital stage of life.
