Second General Session
The Wisdom on Wheels Journey
Jack York
After 17 years in Silicon Valley, Jack York left the technology industry to pursue a passion for connecting people. What began as a computer donation to an assisted living community in California grew into It's Never 2 Late (iN2L), a company focused on enriching the lives of older adults through technology.
Today, Jack travels the country collecting and sharing the stories of older adults, celebrating their experiences, resilience, and wisdom. His work is driven by a simple belief: some of life's most remarkable stories belong to our oldest generation, and they deserve to be heard.
Learn more about Jack and iN2L on the TaleGate website.
This educational session explores the value of person-centered connection and meaningful engagement with older adults. Through stories, research, and reflection, participants will examine the importance of listening, the power of silence, and the role of authentic human connection in addressing loneliness and social isolation.
The session highlights the lived experiences, resilience, and wisdom of older adults while exploring the health consequences of isolation, including increased risks for mortality and cognitive decline. Attendees will gain insights into fostering more meaningful interactions and strengthening person-centered care in their professional practice.
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the impact of loneliness and social isolation on the health, well-being, and cognitive outcomes of older adults.
- Recognize the role of meaningful conversation, active listening, and silence in fostering person-centered connections with older adults.
