We’ll be joined from Ontario by Dr. Patricia Spindel, Chair of Seniors for Social Action Ontario, co-founder of the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, and former President of Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities. Dr. Spindel, also a recipient of a Government of Canada medal for service to her community, is a passionate advocate for the rights of older adults, especially in healthcare and long-term care.  The issues we face in our society with regard to “throwing away” and disregarding our humans of advanced age is not just an American issue, but is also prevalent in Canada.  And advocating for our elders is critical for their well-being and ours, as a society.  Dr. Spindel will give some of her insights to help us in our advocacy for the elderly.
