Join us to discover how words can transform the healthcare experience and help build a genuinely inclusive, age-friendly system. This presentation explores the critical role of language in fostering inclusivity, dismantling stereotypes, and advancing the 4Ms framework of age-friendly care: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. Participants will learn practical strategies to adopt age-affirming and inclusive communication that align with the principles of age-friendly care. Advanced practice practitioners, educators, and researchers will be empowered to lead by example in creating environments where older adults feel valued, respected, and central to their own care.
