PALM's Senior Health Advisory Action Committee will use rapid funds to combat the rising tide of health-related disinformation that disproportionately affects vulnerable seniors. This funding will enable the committee to provide accurate and accessible health information, conduct educational sessions, and equip seniors with the tools to distinguish reliable sources from harmful misinformation. The initiative includes community outreach and social media efforts aimed at fact-checking and directly addressing critical issues to improve health literacy. By doing so, the committee can help seniors make informed health decisions and protect them from the dangerous consequences of false information.
