Community shares input and concerns with Board at final FY 22 virtual budget hearing
“Jim Clay, a 75-year-old gay man and public health worker, lost his partner to AIDS 11 year ago. Clay spent six years in retirement until returning to the workforce at 70. Now, he manages Cascade AIDS Project’s Aging Well program, which he designed to support the mental and physical health of older adults living with HIV and AIDS. ‘Many of the older adults that I work with are also widows. They live alone, they feel lonely, they’re isolated, and this has been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic,’ Clay says.”
