And on to the show. Welcome to the Jerry Pal podcast. This is Eric Widera. This is Alex Smith. And Alex, today we're going to be talking about interactive maps of aging. Who do we have to talk about this with us?
Alex Smith 0:25
We are honored to welcome Judy Salerno, who's a physician leader in healthcare for older adults. She's the president emeritus of the New York Academy of Medicine and was previously the leader at Susan G. Komen Foundation and was executive director at the Institute of Medicine and was deputy director of the NIA, among many other amazing titles. Thank you

work you've done, Judy, and welcome to the Jerry Powell Podcast.

Thanks. Glad to be here.
Alex Smith 0:52
And we're delighted to welcome Lindsay Goldman, who is CEO of Grantmakers in Aging, which is a network of funders advancing the policies, programs, and investments that support the well-being and late life of older adults, and was previously at the Center for Healthy Aging in the New York Academy of Medicine, where she worked with Judy on the interactive maps of aging. Lindsay, welcome to the Jerry Pal podcast.
Lindsay Goldman 1:17
Thanks so much. Happy to be here.
Eric Widera 1:18
So this is actually a brand new term for me, interactive maps of aging. So I got a lot to learn. But before we do, we always go to a song request. Who has a song request for Alex?
Judy Salerno 1:29
I do.
Eric Widera 1:30
What's the song, Judy?
Judy Salerno 1:32
Well, I love Carole King, and I think her album Tapestry is probably in the annals of the most wonderful... rock, well, she's not a rock star, but a wonderful, wonderful album with beautiful music. And when I think of tapestry, I think of the words, the rich and royal hue, and that brought to mind this month the loss of two of our feminist royalties, Dolly Parton and, of course, Gloria Steinem, who I had the honor of meeting at New York Academy of Medicine and having a long chat with. So this is an honor of them. If you could play that, I'd love it.
Alex Smith 2:21
Thank you. That's a terrific request. And if you're listening live, you get me on guitar. And if you're listening to the audio only, you get my wife, Cindy, playing the piano for this. Thanks.
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision

of the ever-changing
view. A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold. A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold. Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leather hide And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side Thank
Alex Smith 3:40
you, Judy. Beautiful. And thank you for honoring Dolly and Gloria.
Eric Widera 3:45
Thank you. Judy, did I hear you also sing Jolene?
Judy Salerno 3:49
She does. Yes, but I don't want to scare people today.
Eric Widera 3:55
Next time. Next
Judy Salerno 3:58
time. I'll practice a little.
Eric Widera 4:03
All right. So we're going to be talking about interactive maps of aging. And I was wondering if I could turn maybe to you, Lindsay, first. How did you get interested in the idea of using interactive maps to help think about aging populations in particular cities?
Lindsay Goldman 4:20
So it's sort of strange, but all of my major career milestones coincide with major disasters. I don't know that I bring the disaster, but I usually arrive like pretty soon after.

How did Hurricane Sandy expose gaps in services for older adults and spark the creation of ImageNYC?

Lindsay Goldman 4:35
And so during Superstorm Sandy... I was working at UJA Federation and we were making grants to organizations that served older New Yorkers and had been significantly affected by the storm. And so I was very involved in In the hurricane response and in matching organizations and older people who had been affected by the storm with organizations and older people who had not and could benefit from mutual aid. And so I had that experience. And I actually think, Judy, you also were involved in disaster response in Katrina, which we learned a lot about. So I then had the opportunity to go to the New York Academy of Medicine, where two actually GIA members, the Altman Foundation and the New York Community Trust, had given a grant to study the impact of Hurricane Sandy on older New Yorkers.
