In the senior care market, Aging 2.0 has become a very big deal

Aging 2.0, from very small to very big.  Begun in 2012 through the efforts of Katy Fike and Stephen Johnston.  The goal: address the biggest challenges and opportunities in aging. In 2021, Aging 2.0, at that point with “40,000-plus innovators in 130 chapters across 31 countries”, was acquired by the Louisville Healthcare CEO Council.  Despite denial that this acquisition was not changing the mission, it has migrated from its long-time loosely connected chapters with a few members here to a thousand there. Louisville ownership has transformed both its members and sponsorship -- senior living, skilled nursing, healthcare, insurers.  Here are five exhibitors/content from the Aging 2.0 Optimize event beginning today in Louisville:

Hippo Mobility. "Hospitals in the USA are struggling with lack of timely availability of the proper non-emergency patients (NEPTS) transportation. As a result, even after the discharge, patients are sometimes waiting more than 12 hours. Sometimes it’s become expensive to the payers and insurance companies. Hippo Mobility with its medically trained drives and staff offers clean, hygienic, safe, hassle-free, cost-effective, and immediate (within 15 minutes turn around time) discharge transportation from hospitals."
