June 9 is ‘What Matters to You?’ Day, part of age-friendly care
Each June “What Matters to You?” Day aims to encourage meaningful conversations between people who provide and receive health and social care. The AHA will convene a second Age-Friendly Health Systems Action Community in September to implement the initiative’s 4Ms Framework – including “What Matters” – in hospital and ambulatory settings during a seven-month virtual community.
Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of the John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in partnership with the AHA and the Catholic Health Association of the United States. To learn more, visit AHA.org/agefriendly.
