Aging
Aging Well Never Grows Old
Growing older is a constant we all share. To ensure that people in their later years are economically secure, can access quality health care, and have opportunities to make meaningful contributions to their communities, Atlantic invested in organizations focused on the needs of older adults, especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable. We also have worked to help create age-friendly policies.
