“The Gray Tsunami” – The Challenges of an Aging Population in SC
Kimberly Borts, president of Leading Age, the professional association representing South Carolina’s health and senior living facilities, has an important report to share. By 2035, SC’s growing population will have more residents above the age of 64 than below the age of 18. How will the state – and the country – meet the demand for health care services, facilities, social support, transportation, and fill the jobs related to caring for the elderly, in the face of such record numbers? It’s a problem Kimberly and other leaders within the community of geriatric services will outline.
