On our podcast – At Home, On Air – we welcome Jennie Chin Hansen, the immediate past CEO of the American Geriatrics Society, former President of AARP, previous Executive Director of On Lok, and a longtime community advocate.
In this forward-looking conversation, Jennie draws from her lifelong career in the field of aging as well as her own personal aging journey. She discusses the strength that comes with older age — why living with agency while experiencing the normal changes of aging is essential to our wellbeing.
Jennie challenges us to rethink interdependence: how can we nourish our connections across generations and build "new muscles" by working alongside younger people, acknowledging our differences rather than avoiding them?
She speaks to the responsibility that comes with being an older adult — to share our resources and take care of those who come behind us, to be soldiers of caretaking and the collective good, keeping the flow going for generations to come.
This is a conversation that will shift how you see your own aging journey — and inspire you to build the intergenerational connections our world desperately needs.

Welcome to 'At Home, On Air' and our new mini-series, Changemaker Interviews – where we spotlight individuals who make a difference in our lives by telling untold stories, thinking differently, and caring deeply for others.
In this special edition, we bring you highlights from conversations with three exceptional women: Katy Butler, whose work empowers us to consider alternatives to medicalized end-of-life care; Mistinguette Smith, who reveals the profound connections between Black communities and their land; and Jennie Chin Hansen, whose advocacy has transformed elder care at home.
Their personal stories and insights offer valuable perspectives on aging, community, and the power of storytelling – wisdom that continues to inspire and guide us through these transformative times.
Join us as we launch this series celebrating those who challenge systems, introduce new ways of thinking, and share previously untold stories.
