Building on decades of published research, government documents, and program models, the book provides historical perspectives, new theoretical approaches, analytical models, resources for researchers and practitioners, and pathways forward for advancing the interdisciplinary arts in healthy aging field of scholarship and practice. In this presentation, two co-authors of the book will offer main findings from the research, ideas for activating America’s arts in healthy aging ecosystem at the national level, and recommendations for activating our 8Ps Framework for the Arts in Healthy Aging.
