A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
welcome
to
our
legislative
briefing
on
innovation.
Now
this
is
our
last
of
four
briefings
of
2018
and
it's
a
collaboration
between
AARP
Pennsylvania,
southwestern,
Pennsylvania,
partnership
for
aging
and
Age
Friendly,
Greater
Pittsburgh,
and
we
just
so
appreciate
you
braving
the
weather,
braving
the
cold
and
being
here
today.
My
name
is
Laura
Paschal
and
in
the
director
of
age-friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
I
am
35.
We
really
like
to
age
drop
around
here.
A
So
just
you
know,
share
your
age
today
and
I
live
in
the
co-op
community
called
Chatham
Village
on
Mount
Washington
it'll
be
semi
relevant
to
the
conversation
today.
So
today
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
Age,
Friendly
innovation.
An
innovation
is
one
of
three
focus
areas
in
our
action
plan,
which
was
accepted
by
the
World
Health,
Organization
and
AARP
around
this
time
last
year
and
here's
how
we
describe
it
in
the
action
plan.
We
envision
a
region,
that's
relentlessly
pushing
for
progress,
it's
committed
to
affording
each
resident
the
opportunity
to
age
where
and
how
they
choose.
A
We
honor
promising
solutions
and
we
test
brand
new
ideas
that
open
doors
to
businesses,
workplaces,
training,
opportunities
and
apartment
listings.
We
all
can
benefit
from
advancements
in
technology
and
design,
and
we
can
all
see
what's
on
the
horizon
so,
as
we
all
know,
Google
Facebook,
duolingo,
uber
and
not
Amazon,
we're
okay
with
that
I'll
have
offices
in
Pittsburgh,
along
with
countless
tech
companies
that
are
staffed
by
grads
from
our
stellar
universities.
A
Today's
tech
boom
is
really
a
part
of
our
narrative
and
we
see
promise
in
technology
certainly,
but
we
also
see
promise
and
brand
new
ideas,
so
the
age-friendly
movement
is
about
making
our
region
more
inclusive
and
respectful
of
every
generation
so
include.
Innovation
must
be
by
and
for
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
So
thanks
for
joining
us
today,
we'll
be
welcoming
two
more
speakers
right
up
here
and
then
we're
gonna
meet
some
of
the
people
who
are
bringing
the
Age
Friendly
movement
to
life.
B
Good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
so
I'm
here
to
enter.
Excuse
me
to
introduce
our
elected
officials,
but
first
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
all
of
my
volunteers,
who
are
in
this
room.
Some
of
them
are
wearing
red
shirts.
Some
are
not
so
if
you
could
just
stand
up
or
wait
wave
raise.
Thank
you.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
how
much
of
my
work
in
a
RPS
work
is
really
driven
by
volunteers.
So
we're
really
happy
to
see
so
many
other
faces
as
well,
but
I
really
want
to
thank
them.
B
This
has
been
a
very
busy
year
for
age-friendly
and
I've,
been
thrilled
with
how
everybody
has
really
jumped
in
and
and
rolled
up
their
sleeves.
So
thank
you.
I
mean
I,
especially
want
to
acknowledge
Maryanne
Raymer,
who
has
been
our
lead,
volunteer
on
all
this
age
friendly
work.
So
thank
so
because
of
Pennsylvania
Society
I'm
told
a
lot
of
our
electives
are
actually
already
out
of
town,
but
I
really
want
to
thank
councilman
Tom
Baker.
Where
are
you
County
Councilman
Tom
Baker?
B
Is
here,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
he
decided
to
sit
to
sit
in
the
the
rear
part
of
the
room.
We
didn't
send
him
back
there
and
where
is
city
councilwoman,
erica,
Strassburger
I
know
she's
hit
great.
Thank
you
for
being
here
great
and
then
Andrea
Sanford
is
here
representing
the
county
executive,
Andrea
right
and
Audrey
and
I
are
actually
working
together
on
the
complete
count
committee
with
the
county
in
the
census.
So
we're
really
happy
to
have
you
here.
B
Tracie
Royston
is
here
representing
County,
I,
want
to
say
controller,
yes,
Chelsea
Wagner,
thank
you
and
last,
but
of
course,
not
least,
and
a
woman
who
probably
doesn't
need
a
lot
of
introductions.
Valerie
McDonald,
Roberts
who's
here
representing
the
mayor's
office.
So
so
again,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here,
and
this
has
really
been
an
exceptionally
fun
partnership.
Our
fearless
leader
here
has
an
infectious
amount
of
energy,
which
is
probably
why
a
lot
of
you
are
here
in
this
room.
So
thank
you.
Take
it
away.
C
Good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name's
Paul
Winkler
and
I'm
62
and
eleven-twelfths
so
I'm
coming
up
I
know
how
little
kids
are.
They.
Everything
counts.
I
live
in
Oakmont
and
I'm,
a
longtime
board
member
with
the
southwestern
Pennsylvania
Partnership
for
aging.
What
we
call
Swiffer
and
I've
actually
been
part
of,
swept
us
since
the
very
beginning
29
years
ago.
C
We
want
to
first
extend
a
special
thanks
to
Hillman
foundations.
Age-Friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
is
made
possible
through
generous
funding
from
the
Mary
Hillman
Jennings
foundation.
We
also
want
to
thank
a
ARP
Pennsylvania,
our
partner
in
this
series
of
legislative
briefings
and
with
Jen
and
Mary
Ann
and
AARP
Pennsylvania
team.
We
are
proud
to
say
that
we've
now
convened
more
than
275
residents,
including
76
elected
officials
or
their
staffers,
so
it's
been
really
a
great
collaboration
and
by
the
way
United.
C
The
United
Way
of
Allegheny,
County
or
southwestern
Pennsylvania
now
has
been
a
big
partner
with
us
as
well.
So
in
my
day,
job
I'm
presidency
of
Presbyterian,
Senior,
Care
Network
and
we're
a
regional
continuum
of
senior
living
and
care
communities
across
10
counties
of
western
Pennsylvania.
Two
of
our
core
values
are
around
innovation
and
collaboration,
and
that's
important
in
responding
to
the
needs
and
preferences
of
our
growing
older
population,
and
we
share
those
values
with
swept
up.
Swip
is
mission,
speaks
to
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
of
seniors
across
our
region.
C
The
World
Health
Organization,
age-friendly
cities
model
is
about
creating
livable
communities
for
everyone
and
Laura
alluded
to
this
people
of
all
ages
and
all
abilities.
So
innovation
and
collaboration
go
hand-in-hand
and
we
are
so
blessed
to
have
a
really
extraordinary
collaborative
spirit
here.
In
Pittsburgh
and
southwestern
Pennsylvania
so
think
about
our
region's
demographics
for
Allegheny
County,
specifically
between
2015
and
2030,
our
sixty
five-plus
population
will
grow
by
40%
between
2030
and
2040
five.
Our
eighty
five
plus
age
group
will
grow
by
seventy
five
percent.
So
this
is
our
future.
This
is
also
our
country's
future.
C
So,
given
our
demographics,
we
believe
that
we
have
an
opportunity
and
a
responsibility
to
lead
the
way,
and
that
way
is
through
innovation.
So
about
15
years
ago
a
book
came
out
by
an
author
by
the
name
of
Franz
Johansson
called
the
Medici
effect,
and
in
that
book
he
says,
when
you
step
into
an
intersection
of
fields,
disciplines
or
cultures,
you
can
combine
existing
concepts
into
a
large
number
of
extraordinary
new
ideas
and
he
calls
that
the
Medici
effect.
C
Of
course,
the
meta
cheese
were
bankers
in
Florence
Italy,
and
but
they
funded
creators
from
a
wide
range
of
disciplines,
sculptors
scientists,
poets
philosophers,
painters
and
architects.
They
then
found
each
other
and
learned
from
one
another
and
broke
down
barriers
between
disciplines
and
cultures,
creating
a
new
world
based
on
new
ideas
that
it
became
known
as
the
Renaissance.
So
we
too
are
creating
a
Medici
effect.
Age-Friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
is
bringing
together
individuals
and
teams
and
organizations
across
different
disciplines
and
cultures
and
finding
places
where
they
connect
intersections,
creating
great
synergies.
C
Perhaps
we
have
the
making
of
a
third
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
Renaissance
in
our
future.
Perhaps
our
third
age
pittsburgh's
golden
years
I
personally
have
been
engaged
in
the
age-friendly
housing
workgroup
and
we
are
thrilled
to
have
one
of
our
members,
Stephanie
Danes
here
with
us
today
and
she's,
a
professor
of
architecture
and
urban
design
at
Carnegie,
Mellon,
University
and
she's,
leading
a
fascinating
CO
housing
initiative
based
on
her
research
and
interest
in
designing
places
that,
where
there's
an
intergenerational
focus
to
support
community.
So
we
have
an
architect.
A
Thank
you
so
much
Paul
is
now
my
pleasure
to
introduce
Scott
Bulova
CH,
who
will
lead
our
conversations
today.
So
Scott
is
the
founder
of
lively,
Pittsburgh,
one
of
age-friendly,
greater
Pittsburgh's
key
partners
today
and
for
several
years
in
2016,
lively,
Pittsburgh,
LED
aging,
your
way
workshops
in
seven
neighborhoods
across
Allegheny
County
participants
of
all
ages
were
challenged
to
dream
up
projects
to
make
their
community
better
places
to
grow
old.
In
total
39
ideas
were
generated,
ranging
from
multicultural
potlucks
to
memoir
writing
classes.
You
name
it
the
common
thread.
A
D
All
right,
thanks
Laura,
so
it's
great
to
see
everyone
here.
I
wanted
to
share
just
a
little
bit
about
my
personal
journey
into
this.
All
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
the
amazing
collaborative
spirit
that
we
have
with
this
Age
Friendly
movement,
and
that's
really
what
has
sustained
it,
and
it's
really
what
has
brought
brought
this
as
far
as
it
has
I've
been
actually
in
the
aging
space
for
30
plus
years,
I
was
a
young
athlete
who
had
torn
my
knees
and
knew
at
the
age
of
16.
I
wanted
to
be
a
physical
therapist.
D
I
was
the
the
kid
who
would
rather
sit
at
the
table
with
my
great
aunts
and
uncles
and
listen
to
them.
Tell
stories
I
found
that
more
interesting
than
my
peers,
often
so,
when
I,
when
I
really
think
about
this
movement,
I'm
honored
to
be
here-
and
thank
you
Laura
for
having
me
so
before
we
get
into
this
this
next
part
of
the
the
program
here,
we're
actually
going
to
hear
from
folks
who
are
on
the
ground
in
our
communities
and
have
some
conversation
about
their
experiences.
D
You
know
the
word
innovation
to
me.
I
thought
was
something
that
I
wanted
to
just
share
some
thoughts
on
I
in
our
society
and
in
our
hyper-connected
world
words
themselves
can
be
taking
on
a
life
of
their
own.
Sometimes,
innovation
is
one
of
those
things
that
has
been
captured
by
the
media.
It's
been
captured
by
a
lot
of
communities
and
innovation,
as
a
word
I
think
has
come
to
mean
technology.
It's
it's
artificial
intelligence.
It's
all
the
great
things
that
are
driving.
D
Innovation
actually
is
is
based
on
the
latin
word
Navotas,
which
has
actually
been
around
for
four
hundred
and
seventy
years,
and
the
root
of
that
word
really
is
in
creating
something
new,
it's
in
renewal.
So
really,
if
you
think
of
the
word
innovation,
you
know,
let's
not
give
it
more
power
than
it
it
needs.
Innovation
really
can
be
everything
we're
doing
in
making
ourselves
new
and
approaching
things
with
new
solutions.
You're
gonna
hear
some
really
creative
approaches
to
innovative
age-friendly
initiatives
that
are
happening
in
the
region
today.
D
We
really
pride
ourselves
on
doing
work
that
is
from
the
ground
up,
so
this
idea
again
that
that
innovation
can
come
from
anywhere
and
often
we're
waiting
for
the
experts
to
tell
us
what
to
do
and
what
we've
really
found
through
new
sunrising
and
what's
been
infused
into
our
work
with
lively
and
the
age-friendly
initiative.
Is
that
often
our
experts
are
the
people
in
the
community?
D
A
couple
really
amazing
things
happen:
one
you
actually
get
a
better
solution:
you're
you're
the
person
you're
trying
to
solve
is
actually
use
their
challenges
in
their
experience
to
inform
the
solution.
The
second
thing
that
we've
done
really
effectively
is
to
actually
help
the
people
who
are
being
affected
also
become
a
part
of
the
solution
themselves.
So
we
know
that
these
big
social
challenges
that
we're
facing,
when
you
think
about
aging,
for
those
of
you
have
been
here
through
a
number
of
these.
You
know:
we've
talked
about
housing,
we've
talked
about
transportation.
D
Today,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
some
other,
very
big
challenges.
These
are.
These
are
social
issues
that
no
one
person,
organization
or
entity
can
solve.
We
need
government,
we
need
nonprofits.
We
need
businesses
and
we
need
residents.
We
need
people
themselves
that
are
pulling
in
the
same
direction.
So
this
idea
of
innovation
from
the
ground
up
is
something
that
I
hope
you'll
see
in
the
the
threat
today.
D
So
with
that
again,
I'm
excited
to
be
here
as
the
founder
of
lively
Pittsburgh.
We
have
a
motto
that
we've
adopted
and
Susan
and
Ted.
Can
you
raise
your
hands
real,
quick?
These
are
two
of
my
other
co-conspirators,
with
the
lively
team
leading
a
lot
of
the
community-based
programming
and
our
motto,
which
we
take
very
very
much
to
heart
and
and
if
somebody's
not
doing
this,
we
will
call
them
out
on
it
is
that
we
live
by
the
motto
of
having
serious
fun.
D
So
we
know
this
work
can
be
heavy.
We
know
this
work
can
can
take
a
lot
of
energy,
but
we
like
to
have
a
good
time
doing
and
that's
something
that
we
all
can
remind
ourselves.
So
last
spring
Laura
had
mentioned:
we've
been
a
part
of
this
initiative
actually
since
prior
to
H
friendly,
when
we
were
still
just
getting
out
into
communities
and
having
listening
sessions
and
these
aging
yourway
workshops
and
finding
out
you
know
what
does
aging-in-place
mean
to
people
and
what's
important
to
them.
D
What
are
their
challenges
fast
forward
to
this
past
spring
and
we
actually
were
fortunate
enough
through
the
grant,
with
the
Hillman
foundation
to
have
our
first-ever
age-friendly
challenge
and
what
we
did
was
we
went
out
into
communities
and
we
asked
people
for
to
bring
their
solutions
forward
much
as
you
would
see
that
technology
have
a
demo
day
where
they
would
bring
their
apps.
We
ask
community
members:
what
are
your
projects?
D
What
are
your
solutions
and
anyone
could
bring
these
forward
in
East,
Liberty
or
Highland
Park
at
the
Union
project
we
had
our
own
version
of
a
demo
day
where
residents
and
community
leaders
brought
their
ideas.
It
was
a
beautiful
mix
of
both
mentoring
and
and
the
projects
themselves,
building
relationships
and
supporting
their
their
ideas
and
we
actually
had
$10,000
to
give
away.
So,
at
the
end
of
this
demo
day
we
invested
in
these
projects.
D
We
were
able
to
give
them
awards,
and
then
we
actually
followed
them
for
a
few
months
and
further
develop
their
projects
and
and
created
some
some
additional
strategic
opportunities
for
them.
We
had
a
showcase
which
the
Councilwoman
tier
would
stop
by
for
a
while,
was
really
really
amazing
to
see
that
the
diversity
of
innovation-
and
we
had
everything
from
a
project
called
see
me
at
the
center.
So
this
was
a.
This
is
actually
a
technology
platform
that
takes
any
device.
So
your
iPhone
your
tablet
and
turns
it
into
an
instrument.
D
So
they
went
into
senior
centers.
They
worked
with
older
adults
who
also
invited
their
children
and
get
grandchildren,
and
they
had
intergenerational
symphonies
of
people
that
were
actually
using
their
digital
devices
to
create
music
together
a
really
interesting
kind
of
digital
and
analog
way
to
connect.
We
had
the
project
generations
at
the
gardens.
D
So
with
that
today,
we're
going
to
actually
hear
from
three
great
examples
of
Age
Friendly
innovation,
that's
happening
in
the
region,
we're
going
to
hear
from
County
residents
neighbors
and
as
Paul
mentioned,
we've
got
a
wide
variety
here
of
poets
and
artists
and
scientists
and
and
everything
in
between
and
they're
gonna
share.
What
really
brings
these
projects
to
life?
So
I
would
ask
our
first
group
to
come
up
and
that's
the
dementia
friends
and
while
they're
getting
seated
here
a
little
background
on
on
dementia
friends.
D
Dementia
friends
is
leading
the
way
and
raising
awareness
about
dementia
and
empowering
those
impacted
by
this
disease.
It
aims
to
give
people
an
understanding
of
dementia
and
the
small
things
they
can
do
every
day
to
make
a
difference,
a
lot
of
Education,
a
lot
of
awareness
raising
and
a
lot
of
training
in
a
relatively
short
time.
Dementia
friends,
Pennsylvania
has
really
made
some
amazing
progress.
They
recently
became
one
of
only
18
states
to
join
in
May
of
this
year
since
joining
in
May
dementia
friends.
D
Pennsylvania
has
already
trained
over
260
dementia
friends
across
the
state
in
an
effort
to
increase
understanding
of
dementia
and
facing
the
challenges
associated
with
the
disease
and
more
than
thirty
five
dementia
friends
champions
have
been
equipped
with
the
tools
to
host
dementia
friends
campaigns,
so
it
kind
of
training
the
trainer
with
us
today
are
some
of
the
people
who
have
been
working
to
provide
these
innovative
educational
opportunities.
So
if
you
could
join
me
in
welcoming
them
to.
D
So
Stacy
and
Annalise
are
both
statewide
court
co-coordinators
for
dimetric
friendly
Pennsylvania,
so
I
see
a
bit
that
you
both
have
extensive
history,
kind
of
working
in
aging
and
working
in
health
care.
If
you
could,
maybe
each
share
a
little
bit
about
what,
in
your
professional
experience
according
to
drew
you
to
your
age,
friendly
work.
E
E
F
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
annalisa
Perry
and,
like
Stacy
I,
had
a
majority
of
my
professional
experience.
Working
with
seniors,
so
I
was
a
in
the
home
and
community-based
sector
and
then
I
was
a
nursing
home
administrator.
But
really
for
me,
my
passion
involving
individuals
living
with
dementia
was
more
personal,
so
my
grandfather
had
Alzheimer's
and
my
grandmother
had
vascular
dementia.
F
F
I
think,
if
some
of
the
common
misconceptions,
if
I,
would
ask
all
of
you
right
now
to
really
close
your
eyes
and
when
I
say
the
word
dementia,
what
is
the
first
word
that
comes
to
your
mind?
You
can
yell
them
out
fold,
which
is
memory,
memory,
loss,
isolating
what
are
some
of
the
emotions
that
are
attached
to
the
word?
Dementia
scary.
It's
sad!
It's
lonely!
So
really
with
dementia
friends,
we
try
to
change
that
misconception
or
the
stigma
and
the
isolation
that
often
comes
with
dementia.
F
So
we
do
that
by
discussing
five
key
messages
in
our
information
session
and
they
really
build
around
the
common
misconceptions.
So
it's
say
some
of
the
common
misconceptions.
Is
that
it's
a
normal
part
of
Aging?
It
is
not
a
normal
part
of
Aging,
and
that
is
more
than
memory
loss.
So
it
goes
just
beyond
not
being
able
to
remember
things
and
it
really
impacts
your
entire
activities
of
daily
living.
Great.
D
E
Absolutely
we
talk
a
lot
about
really
when
you're
out
in
the
community
or
working
really
treating
people
with
dignity
and
respect
so
often
times.
You
know,
you'll
hear
a
story
where
maybe
a
family
member,
a
friend,
is
visiting
the
person
that's
living
with
dementia
and
instead
of
talking
to
the
person
you
talk
to
the
family
member,
well
how's
Annalise
doing
today,
well,
I
should
ask
Annalise.
I
should
really
be
respectful
to
what's
going
on
with
her.
E
Maybe
she
can't
answer
you
know
as
she
might
once
or
want
to,
but
at
least
I'm
giving
her
a
chance.
Other
things
that
you
can
think
about
is
being
patient
and
supportive,
so
oftentimes,
our
brains,
all
move
very
fast,
and
you
have
someone
that
is
really
working
with
very
serious
brain
changes
and
they
don't
work
as
quickly
as
maybe
you
do,
and
so
you
ask
a
question:
you
don't
get
a
response
immediately.
What
do
we
tend
to
do?
Ask
again
say
it
louder,
but
that
doesn't
help
it
just
really
might
confuse
the
person
more.
E
Other
things,
like
don't
criticize,
argue
because
you're
not
gonna
win
or
using
words
like
do
you
remember,
do
you
know
my
name
easier
thing
to
do?
Is
hi
I'm,
Stacy
and
you're
just
make
it
a
very
natural
make
it
easy
for
someone
and
support
them
really
come
and
when
you're
interacting
with
someone
come
from
the
front,
make
sure
they
see
you
there's
a
lot
of
visual
changes
that
happen
to
a
person
living
with
dementia
and
so
being
respectful
of
them
getting
to
their
level,
and
always
really,
you
know
putting
the
person
first
yeah.
D
D
Real
quickly
before
we
move
on,
if
you
could
share,
if
anyone
here,
we
have
people
representing
and
coming
from
different
communities.
If
they
were
wanting
to
bring
a
dementia
friendly,
training
or
program
to
the
community,
how
would
they
get
in
touch?
What
would
be
that
process
is?
There
are
cost
involved,
okay,.
E
So
a
great
question:
we,
our
goal,
is
that
every
Pennsylvanian
become
a
dementia
friend.
We
are
really
working
with
the
dementia
friendly,
greater
Pittsburgh,
which
is
part
of
Age
Friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh,
to
make
our
community
more
dementia
friendly,
and
we
do
this
by
offering
free
60-minute
information
sessions.
They
are
informative.
There
are
various
forms
that
we
can
do:
different
cultures,
different
age
groups,
and
you
really
never
know
when
you're
gonna
need
a
friend
or
meet
a
friend.
E
D
Wonderful,
thank
you.
So
next,
we'll
move
on
to
Kevin
I
had
heard
you
know
through
the
grapevine.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
had
a
chance
to
meet
Kevin,
but
you
know
in
the
you
know,
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
how
this
movement
has
really
connected
and
made
partners
of
folks
who
you
know
in
the
past,
maybe
hadn't
worked
together.
I
was
really
excited
to
hear
when
the
it's
Burke
cultural
trust
saw
value
in
some
of
these
movements
and
I
really
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about.
D
G
Once
again,
good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
Kevin,
locust
and
I'm,
the
CSO
would
achieve
a
security
officer
for
the
Pittsburgh
cultural
trust,
I'm,
also
tasked
with
the
responsibility
of
managing
our
front-of-house
staff,
as
well
as
our
group
of
300
plus
volunteers,
that
service
all
of
our
guests
and
patrons
of
the
Pittsburgh
cultural
district.
This
is
a
new
relationship
for
the
Pittsburgh
cultural
trust.
It's
not
the
end,
but
it's
only
the
beginning
of
our
relationship
with
dementia
friends.
G
So
we
have
a
very
diverse
audience
and
again
we
try
to
be
as
inclusive
of
all
of
our
guests
and
all
of
our
patrons
as
so.
We
just
recently
launched
a
new
Ambassador
Program
for
the
trust
and
I
thought.
This
would
be
a
perfect
block
of
training
for
our
new
ambassadors,
who
are
tasked
with
reaching
out
greeting
all
of
our
guests
as
they
enter
into
our
venues,
and
we
just
rolled
that
out
this
year.
For
our
first
group
of
ambassadors.
G
They
were
very
receptive
of
this
opportunity
and
so
far
since
we've
launched
this
program
with
our
ambassadors,
we've
gotten
some
good
feedback
from
our
guests
in
terms
of
enhancing
their
overall
guest
centric
and
customer
service
skills.
With
our
diverse
audience
and
again,
we
just
rolled
it
out
with
our
ambassadors,
but
I
hope
this
is
just
the
beginning.
My
plan
is
I'd
like
to
roll
this
out
with
other
members
of
our
front-of-house
staff,
as
well
as
our
volunteers
as
well
great.
D
And
you
know
I
think
for
large
organizations.
Sometimes
it's
hard
to
innovate
and
in
the
you
know,
theme
of
the
day
here.
It's
often
we
see
innovation
and
change
happening
with
smaller
groups.
So
if
you
could
just
spend
a
little
bit
of
time,
maybe
sharing
how
that
adoption
happened
and
why
ultimately
was
the
decision
made?
Why
was
this
an
important
thing
for
the
cultural
trust
sure,
yes,.
G
D
H
H
When
I
was
at
a
team
meeting
and
Annalise
and
Stacey
presented,
dementia-friendly
I
thought
wow
well,
first
of
all
now
that
I
sometimes
can't
remember
my
phone
number,
my
cell
phone
number
I'm
not
getting
dementia
I'm,
just
normally
aging,
but
there
are
other
people
who
I
haven't
really
had
any
contact
with,
but
I
hear
from
my
neighbor
about
a
nice
cousin
who
really
is
now
in
psychiatric
care
for
dementia.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
out
there.
That
could
be
helpful
if
others
knew
about
it
and
I.
H
With
my
meetings
and
say
you
know,
we'd
like
to
explore
this,
and
so
you'll
know
that
when
these
people
that
you
know
who
are
starting
to
be
forgetful,
if
they,
if
they
confide
their
keys-
and
they
know
what
they're
for
they're
not
on
dementia,
but
if
they
don't
know
what
they're
for
or
they
lost
their
way,
then
maybe
they
need
some
help
and
you
can
help
them
by
being
kind
and
remembering
that
they're
really
your
grandmother,
your
father,
whoever
so
I
think.
That's!
That's
the
message:
yeah.
H
That
there
Stacey
did
this.
She
talked
about
when
you
have
a
person
who
has
dementia
and
they
say-
and
this
is
my
my
purse
or
this
is
I-
forget
she
used
the
person
she
said
and
if
the
person
said
well,
this
is
my
you
know,
caboodle
don't
say
no,
it's
your
power
say
well,
that's
very
nice
and
move
on
and
don't
fight
with
them
about
the
fact
that
it's
a
purse
and
not
a
caboodle
and
I
thought.
Oh,
that
was
like
news
to
me
and
I
thought.
H
D
D
And
our
second
group
is
going
to
be
talking
about
innovation
and
digital
literacy.
If
you
could
join
us
up
here,
while
they're
joining
us
I'll
give
you
some
background,
as
we've
heard
a
lot
about
and
and
I'm
sure,
you've
seen
in
the
news,
Greater
Pittsburgh
has
become
a
powerful
hub
for
technology
and,
as
we
know,
technology
is
is
pervasive
in
every
part
of
our
life,
just
as
we're
all
aging
and
learning
new
skills
along
the
way.
Technology
is
changing
too
I'm,
already
aging
out
of
the
technology
that
my
13
year
old
daughter,
is
adopting
right.
D
I
My
name
is
Dave
Sevcik
59
years
old,
we're
supposed
to
teller.
59
years
old
I
was
born
in
East
Liberty
I
now
live
in
Cranberry
Township,
our
warehouse
computer
each
is
located
in
the
East
End
over
inside
construction
junction,
where
attendant
inside
that
building
we
recycle
about
a
thousand
computers
a
year
and
we
lead
with
digital
literacy.
If
people
take
camp
like
Mary
Lou
did
they
earn
a
free
computer
from
us,
so
we
lead
with
digital
literacy
and
we
award
a
computer
that
we
recycle.
Our
mission
is
digital
literacy
for
all
great.
D
I
D
I
D
I
Now
our
initiatives
are
with
Presbyterian
senior
care,
we've
helped
them
four
different
times.
They
have
these
projects
called
cyber
nooks
that
they've
created
so
in
the
lounges
of
the
multiple
Presbyterian
senior
care
sites,
all
of
our
western
Pennsylvania.
We
have
three
or
four
computers
and
the
residents
use
those
that
draws
them
out
of
the
room
into
a
public
area.
I
We
also
worked
with
a
connectome
project
across
the
United
States,
with
our
partners
in
HUD
and
everyone
on
org
to
provide
computers
for
folks
in
Pittsburgh,
as
long
as
they
took
a
computer
literacy
class
for
us
so
basically
earned
a
computer
by
taking
a
kit,
eight
hour
class
and
Jerry's
one
of
our
teachers
and
Mary
Lou's,
one
of
our
students,
wonderful,
and
then
we
also
deal
with
the
immigrant
and
international
communities
to
to
make
sure
they
have
computers
too.
So
they're
not
separated
from
the
rest
of
Pittsburgh,
so
they
can
be
connected.
Wonderful
yeah.
D
You
know
we
hear
a
lot
about
how
technology
is
dividing
us
and
creating
more
isolated
experiences,
and-
and
this
is
such
a
testament-
that
with
intention
it
can
be
used
to
bridge
and
connect
people
so
kudos
on
your
work
Jerry.
So
you
were
you're
an
instructor
user
with
computer
reach.
Did
you
have
a
background
in
teaching
before
you
actually.
J
I'm,
a
software
engineer
by
profession,
but
I
also
during
the
course
of
my
I
work,
I've
also
taught
classes.
Wall
was
an
engineer
to
other
people.
Other
engineers,
I've
taught
classes
on
AI
on
neural
networks
and
other
forms
of
AI
to
a
lot
of
our
customers.
We
have
Westinghouse
and
I've,
been
teaching
Irish,
Gaelic
or
number
of
years,
so.
D
What's
what's
harder
to
teach
older
adults,
digital
literacy
or
Irish
language,
Gaelic
I
would
imagine
that,
so
you
know
you
could
be
teaching
digital
literacy
to
anyone,
you're,
obviously
qualified
to
that.
Why
why
older
adults
and
and
the
people
you're
working
with,
how
do
they
benefit
with
what
impact
do
you
see
well,.
J
J
Basically,
it
isolates
them
to
a
great
extent
and
by
having
the
computers
there
they
haven't,
they
can
many
times
they
can
feel
that
they're
isolated,
maybe
even
obsolete
their
skills.
They
feel
that
their
skills
are
obsolete
and
all
the
time
when
you,
when
they
can
get
a
computer,
then
they
can
have
a
sense
of
inclusion
that
they
now
feel
that
they're
really
part
of
something
they
can
talk
to
their
kids
and
their
grandkids.
J
Also
so
many
things
in
our
in
our
society
are
done
only
online
if
you
want,
if
they
want
to
get
back
into
the
workforce,
many
times,
they're
blocked
from
that.
If
they
cannot
get
onto
the
internet,
because
many
many
jobs
are
only
accessible
through
the
internet,
so
by
having
the
computer
there,
they
can
now
get
back
into
the
workforce
they
can
put
their
own
experience
want
to
LinkedIn.
You
can
possibly
be
connected
by
you
know
through
somebody
that
would
have
a
position
for
them
with
their
background.
Yes,.
D
I'm
here
a
lot
of
instilling
meaning
and
purpose
and
relevance
giving
people
you
know
a
reason
to
still
want
to
continue
to
reach
out
and
be
a
part
of
what's
happening
so
great
great
work
and
I.
Lastly,
I
want
to
hear
a
bit
from
one
of
the
participants
here:
who's
actually
been
trained,
so
Mary
Lou
is
our
our
poet
I'm.
D
D
K
D
K
I
think
it
was
a
tablet
for
the
to
take
the
cash
from
the
people
and
to
put
the
order
in,
but
it
was
the
kind
with
that
you
had
to
write
your
name
with
the
finger
and
that
really
really
got
to
me.
I
know
couldn't
say:
I
couldn't
stand
that,
but
I
had
to
learn
it.
So
she
was
teaching
me
and
then
she
said.
Well,
if
you
have
any
questions,
if
you're
here
alone,
you
can
call
me
so
it
was
5
a.m.
one
morning
and
a
customer
came
in
and
I
couldn't
get
from.
K
One
page
to
the
next
page
and
I
was
very
frightened
of
this
and
I
kept
on
punching
the
buttons
and
I
couldn't
get
it
to
go
so
I
called
the
girls
number
and
she
didn't
pick
up
the
phone
and
then
I
called
the
man
who
was
the
owner
of
the
franchise
and
I
said
I.
Don't
know
how
to
get
this
lady
out
of
here
and
get
her
cash,
and
you
know
this
computer
is
holding
me
up
and
I
said.
Can
you
tell
me
how
to
do
it?
He
said
I,
don't
know
how
to
do
it.
K
D
K
I've
tried
to
use
my
smartphone
and
it's
smarter
than
me
and
I
can't
I
can't
use
my
smartphone
very
well
and,
and
it
was
constant,
it
was
constant
every
day,
there's
something
with
the
computer,
so
I
found
that
they
were
going
to
have
computer
classes
at
my
I
live
in
a
senior
high-rise
and
so
I
was
very
excited
to
go.
I.
D
K
You
know
we
all
make
jokes,
but
people
are
sad
when
they're
alone
and
living
alone
and
a
senior
high-rise.
So
this
really
has
encouraged
me
to
get
back
into
things
that
I
was
so
out
of
touch
because
no
matter
what
you
do,
you
pick
up
the
telephone
and
it's
all
about.
How
do
you
get
through
this
technology
phone
call?
You
know
it's.
It's
very
disappointing
and
disheartening,
so
I'm
I'm
encouraged
now
because
I'm
taking
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I'll
be
taking
more
steps.
D
D
That's
happening
organically
and
sometimes
more
intentionally
and
we're
gonna
hear
about
some
of
those
projects
today
actually
started
30
years
ago
in
Denmark
this
concept
of
Co
housing
and
the
idea
has
been
steadily
picking
up
more
momentum
here
in
the
US
and
and
you'll
hear
here
in
Pittsburgh
as
well.
Today,
nearly
300,
well-established
and
newly
forming
communities
can
be
found
across
36
different
states
in
the
country.
D
If
you're
not
familiar
with
Co
housing,
you
wouldn't
really
know
it
to
see
it,
so
you
would
be
walking
down
the
street
and
it
would
look
and
just
like
any
other
built
environment.
You
know
housing
unit
that
you
might
see.
Each
unit
is
a
complete
home
or
apartment,
and
they
typically
have
a
shared
space.
D
Everyone
has
their
own
independent
income,
their
private
lives,
but
they
do
collaboratively
plan
and
manage
activities
and
the
shared
space.
So
a
very
intentional
decision
to
live
in
community
and
in
relationship
with
others.
You
can
imagine
why
this
you
know
is
something
as
an
age-friendly
community
we'd
be
pursuing
and
are
excited
to
hear
more
about
so
here
with
us
today
or
three
Pittsburghers,
who
are
dreaming
up
an
innovative
CO
housing
community
right
here
in
our
own
backyards.
So
Stephanie
we
known
each
other
for
allow
and
in
different
community
development
work.
L
My
interest
in
Co
housing
comes
out
of
believing
in
the
importance
of
community
I'm
as
an
architect.
I've
always
been
involved
in
housing.
Design
for
older
neighborhoods,
particularly
but
I've,
also
been
working
on
housing
for
special
populations.
People
who
have
challenges
like
dementia
or
autism,
or
just
struggle
with
having
less
less
money.
Co
housing
is
such
a
great
idea,
because
it's
an
idea
that
we're
all
familiar
with
it's
really
not
an
innovative
technology.
L
We
we
were
in
Larimer
for
many
years
thinking
that
we
might
have
an
opportunity
for
a
project
that
would
be
close
to
the
other
revitalization
going
on
there
and
and
it
it
always
turns
out
that
the
land
is,
is
the
difficult
part
in
in
Pittsburgh,
so
that
didn't
work.
We
had
a
project
and
so
Whitley
for
many
years.
We
we
worked
on
a
project.
We
tried
the
Regents
wear
school
before
it
was
the
environmental
charter
school.
L
So
there
have
been
lots
of
ways
that
we've
we've
attempted
to
do
this,
and
we
this
year,
we've
reinvigorated
our
group.
We
have
two
more
of
our
members.
Maureen
and
Nancy
are
sitting
there
and
they
in
the
audience,
but
we
we
have
over
40
people
now
who
are
meeting
together
to
make
this
happen,
and
it
happens
because
we
get
together
because
we
want
to
live
this
way.
Nobody
there's
no
organization.
D
It
does
sound
like
there's
a
lot
of
momentum
and
and
commitment
and
time
being
put
into
this
over
over
years
in
an
ideal
situation
in
knowing
the
barriers
that
are
out
there.
Are
there
any
particular
things
that
you
you
would
like
to
say.
If
they
were
unlocked,
a
project
would
be
viable.
You
mentioned
land,
but
are
there
any
other?
You
know
ordinances
or
their
zoning
issues
or
their
without
getting
into
you
know
too
much
detail.
Yeah.
L
All
I
can
say
is
that
the
primary
goal
that
we
have
for
finding
land,
as
you
might
guess,
would
be
a
walkable
location,
so
we're
looking
primarily
in
the
East
End,
but
not
exclusively
we're
looking
for
it
could
be
an
existing
building,
although
that
that
has
its
own
challenges
or
just
a
small
piece
of
property,
where
we're
really
talking
about
fitting
into
a
neighborhood,
and
so
even
if
the
property
doesn't
quite
have
the
right
zoning
I
think
we
can.
We
can
make
that
happen.
L
D
So
we
have
some
future
residents
that
we
had
a
couple
point
out
in
the
audience.
We
have
a
couple
here
on
our
panel
as
well.
Barton
represents
we've,
we've
had
our
poets,
we've
had
our
architect,
we
now
have
our
engineer
and
if
you
could
share
a
little
bit,
it
sounds
like
you
have
a
family,
and
so
you
know
I
think
the
really
interesting
about
cohousing
and
the
larger
age-friendly
initiative
is
that
h,
friendly
is
great
for
all
ages.
D
M
What
living
in
a
community
is
like,
where
everyone
has
the
experience
of
being
able
to
contribute
together
and
and
all
that
being
honored,
regardless
of
of
what
your
your
challenges
may
be
so
really
working
in
cooperation
as
a
community,
both
at
a
household
level
and
then
also
as
as
a
collective
of
communities.
I
also
had
the
great
fortune
of
being
very
close
to
my
grandparents
growing
up
as
a
child.
M
And
so
that's
it's
the
this
model
of
being
able
to
share
in
those
experiences
and
not
not
be
isolated
to
your
individual
health
I
mean
I
love
how
Pittsburgh
the
neighborhoods
are
so
strong
and
there
there
are
tremendous
opportunities
for
for
sort
of
cross-pollination
across
generations,
across
cultures
within
within
Pittsburgh,
but
there's
something
that's
that
cohousing
brings
just
a
higher
level
of
intention
and
connection
that
really
attracted
us
as
a
family.
Wonderful.
D
So
if
you
could
share
a
little
bit
about
it
sounds
like
you've
both
experienced
this
from
a
standpoint
of
maintenance
of
a
home,
so
we
all
face
this
of
you
know
there
becomes
a
point
where
there's
just
a
lot
to
do
right
and
it
doesn't
slow
down,
as
your
house
gets
older
and
as
we
get
older,
but
also
you've
started
businesses
that
help
other
people
that
are
kind
of
helping
with
maintenance.
How
what
has
been
your
personal
motivation
to
consider
a
co
housing
situation?
Okay,.
N
Good
afternoon
everyone,
my
name,
is
Emma
Johnson
and
I'm
sort
of
the
new
kid
on
the
block.
This
is
a
new
concept
for
me,
but
my
awareness
of
cohousing
came
at
a
very
important
time
in
my
life,
I
like
to
say
that
my
descriptors
alone
explain
should
explain
to
you
why
I
would
be
interested
in
such
a
thing.
I
am
retired,
from
Chatham
University,
where
I
developed
and
coordinated
native
there
tutoring
services
for
their
graduate
and
undergraduate
programs
and
then
moved
on
to
experiential
learning
developing
in
their
internship
program,
which
today
is
alive
and
well.
N
Every
student
graduating
from
Chatham
has
to
complete
an
internship
so
but
I
retired
from
Chatham
five
years
ago
and
I'm
a
75
year
old.
These
are
my
descriptors
75
year
old,
african-american
female
single,
with
a
100
year
old
house,
this
aging
as
fastest
or
faster
that
I
am
and
which
needs
constant
care.
I
have
a
premillennial
daughter
who
lives
in
another
state,
and
so
when
I
speak
of
and
think
of
how
I
want
to
go
forward
from
75,
she
says
to
me:
don't
worry,
mom
I
will
never
put
you
in
the
nursing
home.
N
She
lives
in
another
state.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Pittsburgh
I
love.
This
burg
I
would
like
to
have
some
hand
in
my
quality
of
living
going
forward,
and
so
I
would
like
to
remain
in
Pittsburgh.
I
just
dread,
the
idea
of
being
set
aside
an
apartment,
someplace
or
home
waiting
for
my
daughter
and
son.
N
A
lot
to
return
from
work
away
from
the
sense
of
community
that
I'm
used
to
Pittsburgh
is
a
friendly,
City
I'd
like
to
be
in
a
community
where
I
can
walk
to
a
neighborhood
store
or
a
theater
or
a
doctor's
office.
I
want
to
commune
with
friends.
I
want
to
be
continued
to
be
a
social
being.
So
I
would
like
to
know
that
someone
would
miss
me.
N
Though
I
know
that
we
don't,
we
can't
always
say
how
long
we'll
be
here,
things
could
change
instantly,
but
while
I
still
have
the
faculty
to
have
some
input
and
what
happens
as
I
continue
to
age,
I
would
like
to
consider
these
alternatives.
I
would
like
to
know
that
I
am
in
a
community
of
friends
who
will
check
on
me
who
I
can
have
an
occasional
meal
with
who
I
could
plan
a
theatre
trip
with,
and
that
kind
of
thing
yes,.
G
D
I
love
that
your
last
observation
and
it's
something
I
hadn't
really
thought
about,
which
is
each
of
you
are
choosing
to
consider
cohousing
situation,
but
the
beauty
of
that
is
that
you're
choosing
to
Tuco
house
with
others
who
have
made
that
decision
as
well
right
so
they're
they're
all
coming
everyone's
coming
with
a
shared
mindset
and
wanting
to
share
that
experience
together.
So
that's.
N
D
L
Anybody
who's
interested
is
invited
to
join
us.
We
meet
about
every
six
weeks
right
now,
it'll
probably
be
a
little
more
often,
but
you
can
ask,
ask
me
or
any
of
us
and
blur
can
always
get
in
touch
with
me,
but
we
we
are
welcoming
anybody
who
just
like
to
learn
more
about
this,
and
anybody
who
participates
can
can
be
part
of
this.
There
is
nothing
there
there,
no
requirements
or
anything,
it's
just
all
about
wanting
to
be
part
of
a
community
to
both.
L
J
D
D
L
That's
a
great
question.
Thank
you.
So
she
wanted
to
know
why
an
acre
of
land
and
how
many
people
do
you
really
have
in
a
cohousing
community.
The
the
best
number
is
between
20
and
30
households.
So
that's
why
you
would
typically
look
for
about
an
acre
of
land.
There
are
cohousing
communities
that
are
as
small
as
8,
but
it's
a
it's
a
job.
L
You
know
you
you're
you're
not
being
provided
with
anything
you're,
you're
kind
of
running
your
housing
for
yourself,
so
there
there
are
things
that
everybody
volunteers
to
do,
and
eight
people
stretches
you
a
lot.
If
you
get
over
30,
then
the
sense
of
community
gets
a
little
more
complicated
and
cants
to
kind
of
break
break
into
groups.
So
that's
that's
a
good
size.
It's
there's
nothing
absolute
about
it,
but
and
the
size
of
property
could
vary
from
lib.
L
Finding
an
old
building
in
the
city
in
Washington,
DC,
there's
an
old
office
building,
that's
been
turned
into
Co
housing
and
there
are
farms
that
are
as
as
the
100
Acre
farm
and
in
outside
Gettysburg
is
so
cohousing
can
take
lots
of
forms.
The
only
thing-
that's
that's
constant
is
wanting
to
to
be
a
part
of
the
community.
All.
K
K
L
Question
who's
the
who
owns
it,
who
do
you
pay
to
live
there?
Most
cohousing
communities,
you
you
buy
your
own
house
and
you
own
a
share
of
the
common
facilities,
but
some
also
have
some
rental
units
to
reach
out
to
people
who
are
not
in
a
house
that
they
can
sell
so
that
they
don't
they
don't
have
the
same
resources
but
to
make
Co
housing
more
affordable
for
for
other
people
they
can
be
conned
out,
which
is
just
another
form
of
ownership.
L
They
can
be
cooperatives
which
would
be
more
familiar
on
the
East
Coast,
but
you
pay
for
your
own
unit,
and
so,
if
you
own
it
you're,
just
you
get
your
own
mortgage
and
you
pay
the
bank
for
it.
Co
housing
always
has
a
waiting
list
once
it
opens
once
it's
built.
The
the
universal
thing
that
happens
is
that
people
are
curious
and
come
by
and
say,
like
Emma
did
I
didn't
know
this
was
an
option
and
I
really
never
thought
of
how
great
this
is.
L
This
is
where
people
have
serious
fun
all
the
time,
and
you
know
that's
one
thing
that
you
find
in
cohousing:
you
go
there.
You
have
a
dinner
together
and
you
say:
I've
never
had
this
much
fun
since
I
was
in
college,
and
so
so
when
you,
if
you
have
to
leave
the
it's
easy
because
there's
a
waiting
list
and
you
open
your
unit
to
sale
or
rent
to
the
to
the
next
person
on
the
waiting
list,
which
makes
it
pretty
easy.
But.
B
I
I
O
I
Computer
reached
work
or
you
can
visit
our
warehouse,
we're
inside
construction
Junction
on
the
east
end,
we
have
a
public
day
every
Friday,
where
the
public
comes
in
and
I
could
just
talk
to
you
on
Friday
about
what
your
needs
are
by
the
way.
Friday
is
the
day
that
you
can
come
and
get
free
consulting.
So
we
have
people
come
in
from
all
over
the
western
Pennsylvania
on
a
Friday
and
there's
a
ton
of
us
Jerry's,
one
of
the
ones
who's.
I
L
I
Every
Friday
from
9:30
to
3:30,
you
can
sign
up
on
our
website
to
come
in.
You
can
pick
our
brains
as
they
say.
Yeah
I
wanted
to
say
one
thing
about
Jerry
who's,
one
of
our
best
teachers,
by
the
way
that
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
say
we
have
this.
When
I
we
have
20
teachers
on
our
staff
and
we
we
have
a
range
of
behaviors
that
we
want
that's
very
similar
to
your
dementia
thing.
We
have
mr.
Rogers
on
one
side
and
then
we
have
Sheldon
Cooper
on
the
other.
I
So
when
I
choose
the
teachers
and
we
train
them,
we
look
for
people
that
are
more
mr.
Rogers
and
less
Sheldon
Cooper
for
people
for
people
that
watch
TV
so
and
Jerry
Jerry's
a
good
example
of
a
great
teachers,
patient
who's,
respectful
and
allows
people
like
Mary
Lou
to
feel
comfortable,
whereas
the
week
before
we
did
this,
she
didn't
feel
comfortable
with
computers
at
all.
So
so,
if
you
come
one,
if
you
come
on
a
Friday,
we'll
talk
to
you,
yeah,
okay,
it.
H
D
B
I
Do
we'd
like
them
to
be
working,
we
don't
recycle
for
cash.
We
like
them
to
be
reusable.
We
get
most
of
our
computers
from
corporations
in
Pittsburgh,
Bayer,
PPG,
a
lot
of
the
hospitals.
A
lot
of
school
districts
give
us
our
computers,
but
we'll
do
what
we
call
1
z,
2
Z's.
If
you
want
to
bring
them
in
and
on
Friday,
but
we
prefer
to
have
computers
that
actually
work
that
we
can
flip
and
get
out
to
people
in
need.
I
D
L
F
Funny
enough
as
it
is,
my
husband
works
for
a
bank,
so
I
have
been
gently
pushing
it
that
way,
but
that
is
our
goal
really
for
2019
to
really
expand
throughout
the
different
sectors,
working
in
tandem.
You
know,
with
a
dementia-friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
work
group
trying
to
make
as
many
connections.
So,
if
you
know
of
anyone,
please
send
them
our
way.
We
were
we
forgot
to
mention
you
can
go
to
our
website,
dementia
friends,
PA
org,
and
there
is
a
way
that
you
can
find
a
session.
F
D
All
right,
so,
if
you
can't
tell
this
is
why
we
do
this
work.
This
is
a
true
representation
of
the
people
that
are
part
of
age-friendly,
so
many
people
are
doing
Age,
Friendly
work
and
don't
even
know
it.
The
beautiful
thing
about
age,
friendly,
Greater
Pittsburgh,
is
that
it
provides
this.
This
context,
this
framework
that
people
can
then
plug
into
where
these
unnatural
partnerships,
where
all
of
a
sudden
the
cultural
Trust
is,
is
valuing
and
looking
at
how
they
can
be
more
dementia
friendly.
D
There's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
really
great
collisions
that
happen
through
H
friendly
and
we're
just
getting
started.
So
all
of
you
that
are
interested
in
plugging
in
more
there's
there's
plenty
of
work
to
do,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
So
thank
you
for
listening
to
our
our
panelists
and
their
experiences,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
three
groups
that
share
today.
So
I'm
gonna
pass
this
off
to
Laura
who's,
going
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about.
What's
next.
A
Great
job
Scott
and
everybody
even
really
for
Scott
and
for
every
all
of
our
speakers.
The
one
piece
of
advice,
I
said,
was
just
speak
from
the
heart
and
I
really
I
love
these
sessions,
because
we
always
get
to
hear
really
personal
stories
and
why
this
is
important
to
people.
So
thank
you
and
so
you've
heard
about
three
of
our
projects.
Today
and
now
the
question
is
like:
well:
what
do
we
do
now
with
this
information?
A
So
we
really
want
everyone
to
mark
your
calendars
for
the
season.
Cluesive
Innovation
Summit,
which
is
March
28th
through
30th
I,
will
not
be
there
because
that's
right
around
my
due
date,
but
I'll
be
having
my
own
inclusive
innovation
summit,
but
age-friendly
Greater
Pittsburgh
was
a
partner
and
last
year's
inclusive
innovation
week,
and
we
put
on
an
intergenerational
art-making
project
in
collaboration
with
the
Children's
Museum,
which
is
not
really
a
natural.
A
You
don't
think
of
the
Children's
Museum
as
a
partner
for
an
aging
related
program,
but
we
certainly
did
that
and
we
are
excited
to
be
a
part
of
it
again
this
year.
So
we
have
Todd
Smith
and
he
is
the
digital
community.
Specialist
from
the
city
of
Pittsburgh's
Department
for
innovation
and
performance,
going
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
it.
P
Well,
it's
great
to
be
invited
to
the
Gold
Room
I've
never
been
here
before
I
do
work
across
the
street.
You
know
it's
been
really
impressive.
Listening
to
all
this
stories
and
all
the
work
happening
here
in
Pittsburgh
I
kind
of
thought
about
this
quote
by
satchel
page,
it
says
age
is
a
question
of
mind
over
matter.
P
If
you
don't
mind,
it
doesn't
matter
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
spirit
here
in
the
room
in
that
then
also
innovation
as
a
mindset,
it's
less
about
technological
advancement
as
much
as
the
potential
for
human
connection
and
so
over
there
in
here
in
the
county.
The
whole
playbook
is
around
inclusive
innovation.
To
make
sure
that
our
tech
boom-
that's
happening
here
in
Pittsburgh,
is
encompassing
everybody
that,
just
like
the
Sun
shines
on
everybody,
so
does
innovation,
so
mayor
Peduto
has
been
really
committed
since
day,
one
since
taking
office.
P
Our
team
has
done
a
lot
of
great
work.
One
of
our
recipes
is
really
cross
sector
partnerships.
So
it's
been
great
to
be
working
with
the
age-friendly
community,
but
last
year
we
had
our
annual
inclusive
innovation
week.
So,
every
year
we've
been
doing
this
and
this
will
be
our
fourth
year
and
it's
the
first
time
that
we
got
to
bring
in
some
new
energy
like
Age,
Friendly
Pittsburgh,
but
we've
also
worked
with
computer
reach
and
we've
also
continued
that
work
onward.
P
So,
as
our
departments
actually
replacing
computers,
older
computers
with
functioning
computers
and
city
government
were
creating
that
pipeline.
That
goes
to
computer
reach,
to
help
serve
underserved
communities
who
did
use
those
computers.
So,
as
Laura
was
saying,
inclusive
innovation
summits
taken
place
in
March
from
the
28th
to
the
30th,
it's
going
to
be
held
downtown.
P
It's
really
a
great
way
to
celebrate
all
the
work
happening,
there's
really
not
a
unlike
this
across
the
country.
We
really
built
this
in
the
vision
of
our
partners
eyes.
The
other
thing
that's
really
cool
is
that
we
really
put
inclusion
on
a
pedestal,
so
the
events
completely
free.
We
provide
accessible
spaces.
We
provide
child
care
and
we're
trying
this
year
to
subsidize
transportation,
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
come
to
the
event.
So
we're
really
proud
to
be
involved
with
this
work
kudos
to
everybody
who
spoke
today.
P
B
All
right,
I
think
we
can
wrap
it
up.
Please
do
enjoy
some
brownies
and
cookies
and
cheese
and
drinks,
or
take
some
with
you.
When
you
go
one
thing
about
AARP
is
we
always
provide
a
lot
of
food
at
our
events
and
then
they
wind
up
coming
home
with
me,
which
there
is
left
I,
obviously
don't
need
any
part.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here.
We
really
have
enjoyed
this
collaboration
and
we'll
see
what
happens
in
2019
we'll
be
in
touch.
Thank
you.
