This Innovation Challenge will focus on a complex problem with both local and global significance – equitable access to healthy aging resources. The challenge addresses the critical question:
"How might we improve and maintain equitable access to healthy aging resources for older adults from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in our communities?"
