Elderhood by Louise Aronson: A Big Picture of Aging in America

In her book, Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life (Bloomsbury, 2019), which became a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Louise Aronson, MD, MFA, explores the challenges associated with aging in the United States and offers a positive and optimistic approach to overcoming those challenges. “At the very least, we are losing an opportunity to look at the final third of life with the same concern, curiosity, creativity, and rigor as we view the first two-thirds,” writes Dr. Aronson in her book.
