Eldercare & COVID from a Global Perspective

Susan Ryan sits down with Walter Coffey and David Sprowl, managing partners of an international consulting business. Walter was formerly the CEO of LeadingAge Georgia and the Georgia Institute on Aging for 18 years and well known for his efforts in the eldercare culture change movement. David was the Executive Director of Lutheran Towers, located in midtown Atlanta, Ga., where he brought person-centered approaches to affordable housing. They discuss the COVID crisis through an international lens and their work in different parts of the globe, their quest for person-centered approaches to eldercare to be realized more broadly, and the role of all staff within an organization functioning as leaders to effect transformation. Finally, Walter and David encourage us to not settle for 'good enough' but to intentionally strive for greatness. Connect with Walter here: linkedin.com/in/walter-coffey-5aa761133
