A Conversation with Tony Chicotel

Join us as we discuss Pet Ownership is 'Medication with Jessica Bibbo, Ph.D., a Research Scientist at the Center for Research and Education with the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging.

Many of us experience the benefits of owning a pet. They connect us, motivate us to walk, keep us on a schedule and more. In this conversation with Jessica Bibbo, we learn about her recently concluded research study that looked at pet ownership benefits, challenges and resources in an aging society.

The results provide empirical evidence that pets do impact the health and healthcare decisions of older adults and make a strong case for making pet ownership part of conversations about senior housing, caregiving, transportation and more.

Jessica talks about the study and her hope of how this might change the conversation about health determinants in older adults.
