Our first question out of the shoot is… Tell us about Oklahoma Human Services “Aging Our Way” Initiative?

We not only talk about “Aging Our Way,” but we also talk about prevention of falls and what you can do to eliminate your risk of a fall which can often lead to much decline. An Initiative called; “Stay Steady & Prevent Falls.”

Pictured Left is: Joncia Johnson, Director of Oklahoma Human Services. Pictured Center is: Madelyn Maxwell, Oklahoma State Department of Health Injury Prevention Services. This is a 10-year program providing initiatives for our large aging population. By the year 2030, there will be more 50+ adults than the 18 & under age group!

Joncia Johnson is the Aging Initiatives Director for Oklahoma Human Services, where she leads Aging Our Way Oklahoma, the state’s 10-year Multisector Plan on Aging. She works with partners in sectors across health, housing, transportation, and workforce to ensure Oklahomans have the opportunity to age on their own terms.

Madelyn Maxwell, M.A. is the Healthy Aging and Falls Prevention Project Coordinator for the Oklahoma State Department of Health Injury Prevention Service. To advance statewide prevention, she engages cross-sector state and community stakeholders to implement strategies to reduce fall-related morbidity and mortality to improve older adult health outcomes.
