“Age is not just a number. It’s my story. It’s who I am.” Our #AgeFriendly Leadership Circle learned so much from Dr. Suzanne Kunkel of Scripps Gerontology Center. This experience sparked dialogue among our leaders for promoting age inclusion, like debunking that just-a-number myth. ❤️

Yesterday morning, through the support of Senator Nickie J. Antonio, the AFIC was joined by community advocates as they conducted an accessibility review of the Ohio Statehouse.
