About this episode

By 2025, Canada is expected to become a “super-aging” society, with more than 25% of its population over the age of 65, which has unique implications on community and individual health and the healthcare system at large. Host Jennifer Bernard is joined by Dr. Paula Rochon of Women’s College Hospital’s (WCH) Women’s Age Lab, Lina Jobanputra and Tania Obljubek of WCH to speak about societal health challenges facing older adults, with a focus on how women experience health and ageing differently.
