About this listen

Peter Kaldes, CEO of the American Society on Aging, talks with Robert Espinoza, Vice President of Policy for PHI, about issues of equity and justice and how they intersect with the work he does as an advocate for the direct care workforce and pushing policy change in long-term care. Espinoza discusses how systemic racism has affected direct care workers and how that might be ameliorated, how immigration policy feeds into the mix of racial and social justice, and his vision for a more equitable and just world, especially as it pertains to caring for older adults.
