Financial wellbeing isn’t adjacent to patient care, it’s embedded in it. A patient’s financial instability can predict recovery as powerfully as medication adherence, while a serious illness or forced early retirement can trigger a cascade of financial consequences that lasts decades.
At the intersection of the two sits a growing crisis: cognitive decline that leaves older adults vulnerable to a scam epidemic supercharged by AI.
In this panel discussion, TIAA Institute’s Surya Kolluri and University of Minnesota researcher Marti DeLiema join TIAA moderator Colin Pierce to unpack the bidirectional relationship between health and wealth and what it demands of healthcare leaders.
Attendees will learn:
- How financial instability and poor health reinforce one another — especially for lower-income and hourly workers
- Why financial mismanagement can signal cognitive decline — and what it means for clinical care
- How AI-powered scams are increasing financial fraud risks for older adults
- One practical step healthcare leaders can take in the next 90 days to integrate financial wellbeing into care
