Q: What one policy change would you recommend to the next President that will enable Americans to age at home?

"Care can and should move out of the hospital. As the health system shifts to value-based care, home care will challenge the traditional, facility-based model."
- Bruce Leff, MD
d.health Advisory Board

"We need policymakers to create incentives toward sustainable, scalable models for providing coordinated primary healthcare and supportive services for seniors (especially low-income) as part of integrated community health initiatives."
