Making an Impact
What Older Adults Want
We believe changing the narrative on aging demands a human-centered approach to better understand older people by welcoming them into the design process.

We believe aging is a personal, positive journey
As Americans live longer, it is time for creative solutions so that older adults, families, and communities are supported by health care, services and supports, and financing.
To that end, we at The SCAN Foundation build awareness about people's experiences and challenges. We prototype and pilot efforts in real time. We enable novel partnerships between unlikely groups to find common ground.
