MPBN series to focus on aging, latest Maine Policy Review
Throughout January, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network’s “Morning Edition” will feature a series of interviews focused on the challenges faced by Maine’s increasing population of older adults and how public policy is addressing them. Guests will be authors who contributed to the Maine Policy Review’s “Special Issue on Aging.” The publication is produced by the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine. Julie Fralich, who recently retired as director of the Program on Disability and Aging within the Cutler Institute of the Muskie School at the University of Southern Maine, was the first guest in the series. Fralich wrote the essay, “Shaping the Health and Long-Term-Care Infrastructure Serving Older Adults: Historical Trends and Future Directions.”
