Dr. Robert Friedland, associate professor in Georgetown's School of Nursing and Health Studies, is widely acknowledged as a leading expert in long-term care, retirement planning, and government health policies. He discusses how he first became interested in the issues of aging, his leadership at Georgetown's Center for an Aging Society, which he founded, and what he has learned about politics and healthcare from over a quarter century of testifying before and working with Congressional committees.
