MO131 Replicable Models of Collaboration to Serve<br />
the Health Needs of LGBT Older Adults<br />
12:30 PM | Columbus AB (East Tower, Gold Level)<br />
How are the health issues and concerns of LGBT older adults<br />
similar and different from other aging populations? What are<br />
the issues and concerns of older adults infected and affected by<br />
HIV? How do we break the research, social service and medical<br />
services silos to treat the whole person? These questions and<br />
more will be explored in this symposium. Learn about collaborations<br />
on cutting-edge, person-centered programs and interventions<br />
for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older adults.<br />

MO135 Creating Service Opportunities<br />
in Aging Services<br />
12:30 PM | Gold Coast (West Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
Aging programs frequently use volunteers to assist with basic<br />
tasks. We can expand these models of service in ways that can<br />
benefit our programs, while meeting the needs of partnering<br />
organizations. Presenters will describe partnership models that<br />
include internships, stipend programs, agency partnerships and<br />
other models that build service enterprise.<br />

MO137 Monetizing Services to Meet Demand:<br />
Vision Rehabilitation for Seniors<br />
12:30 PM | Comiskey (West Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
As our community ages, we can expect to see a dramatic<br />
increase in age-related progressive vision loss. How can we<br />
meet the growing need for vision rehabilitation services? Learn<br />
how including private pay and cost-shared services allow us to<br />
reach individuals who would not otherwise qualify for a<br />
subsidized service intended for older adults in poverty. Join a<br />
discussion of how to develop private pay and sliding-fee scale<br />
models for programming.<br />
Presenters: Susan Anderson, Community Services Lead; John Filek,<br />

12:30 PM | Michigan 1 (East Tower, Bronze Level)<br />
As the healthcare system evolves to address the social determinants<br />
of health, community-based providers can leverage their<br />
social service expertise to establish profitable partnerships with<br />
health payers. Members of a California CBO collaborative will<br />
discuss the crucial role CBO coalition-building plays in securing<br />
health payer partnerships. Presenters will discuss strategies for<br />
partnership-building and for growing entrepreneurial culture<br />
within mission-driven nonprofits.<br />

MO141 Creativity as a Means to Expression<br />
of Emotions by Older Adults<br />
12:30 PM | Columbus EF (East Tower, Gold Level)<br />
This workshop will demonstrate the potential value of engaging<br />
in creative art-making activities and expression of emotions in<br />
older adults. A study conducted at senior residences in Sweden<br />
showed that engaging in creative and meaningful activities can<br />
produce inner growth, sense of purpose, enhanced communication,<br />
social connectivity, and increased well-being.<br />

MO143 Media Portrayals of Aging and<br />
the Influence of Aging Experts<br />
12:30 PM | Columbus IJ (East Tower, Gold Level)<br />
Aging is predominantly portrayed negatively in the media,<br />
consequently influencing public opinion. While scientific<br />
information that informs these stories has evolved to include<br />
more positive portrayals of aging, media coverage lags behind.<br />
Several strategies for changing the way aging is portrayed in the<br />
media will be discussed in depth.<br />
