The Commission on Aging will hear about the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on individuals living with a serious illness and those caring for them. The meeting will include guest experts and a discussion about what our community can do to better meet the needs of individuals who are very ill, and the caregivers and clinicians supporting them.

The discussion will take place during the Commission on Aging’s monthly meeting at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 19. Meetings are currently in an online format.

Meeting guests include:

• Peggy Maguire with Cambia Health Foundation
• Gregg VandeKieft with Providence Institute for Human Caring and Providence St. Peter Hospital
