 Issue 1 of the 2017 SectionConnection newsletter for each Section is available online. "The older population in the United States faces significant challenges in a technological society. The physiological and psychological changes that come with aging, for example, result in limitations in cognitive capacity, auditory and visual function, and mobility. These limitations decrease an older person’s capacity to interact independently with a variety of systems, including those affiliated with banking, that have not yet adapted to meet the special needs of elderly people. Also, financial scams are a serious concern to older individuals’ safety and financial security.” AGING: The Need for an Age Friendly Financial Environment, Edward A. Mckinney, PHD, MPH, MSW
