Notable Quotes
- “Most health care systems are not comprehensibly equipped to handle the growing needs of our aging population. We need to embrace innovation, technology, and new models of care to ensure that seniors can age with dignity and access the support they need to thrive.” — Michael J. Dowling, President & CEO at Northwell Health
- “To truly care for an aging population, we must cultivate genuine human connection – at the bedside and beyond.

Lee, Chief Medical Officer at Press Ganey
