ANNOUNCEMENT-AGE-FRIENDLY HEALTH

**Health Affairs** is beginning a new series, Age-Friendly Health
,
that will present articles to inform policies on the local, state, and
federal levels aimed at improving the care of older adults.

The series runs through June 30, 2022. It will build upon the Aging and
Health series
,
which began in 2015, but will also cover new issues including the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on older adults and caregivers and take a
closer look at health care equity and disparities.

We are interested in work that spans the full range of care settings,
including primary care and specialty practices, hospitals, nursing
homes, other long-term care settings, and patients' homes. We also
welcome papers on related dimensions that affect care, access, and
affordability, such as financing models, coverage, technology, size and
composition of the workforce, and social determinants of health.

We are grateful to The John A. Hartford Foundation for providing support
for our ongoing coverage of these topics.

the health care system
