Legislative/Regulatory
Advocating for and understanding legislation at both state and national levels is crucial for ensuring the well-being of older adults. Policies and laws can significantly impact education, research and services tailored to this demographic. While legislative processes set the framework for laws, regulatory processes provide the details and guidelines for how those laws are implemented and enforced. By staying informed and actively participating in legislative process, we can help shape a supportive environment that addresses the unique needs of older adults, promotes their quality of life, and fosters advancements in geriatric care and research.
