Aging & HIV/AIDS Teams Renew Credentials for Care of LGBTQ+ Older Adults

The Jewish Healthcare Foundation's Aging and HIV/AIDS teams were recently re-credentialed by SAGECare, the training division of the nation's largest advocacy and services organization for LGBTQ+ older adults SAGE. Staff completed online updated trainings that covered how to prevent bias and create inclusive services for LGBTQ+ older adults, including how to resolve conflicts and create policies that ensure individuals feel respected and safe. The teams will apply the training's lessons to improve the programs for the populations they serve, which increasingly overlap as aging services engage a growing number of people living with HIV/AIDS. SAGECare recently announced they had credentialed more than 250,000 participants across the county via their training and consulting services, further reflecting this shift.
