SUMMARY:Aspen Ideas: Health - The Inside Scoop on Longevity $35
DESCRIPTION:Pairing common sense with uncommon wisdom\, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel offers a roadmap to the everyday habits that matter most to well-being and longevity. His new book\, “Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life\,” grounds his ideas in evidence\, debunks fads\, and reminds us that sensible behavior is the foundation of good health. The rules aren’t surprising: avoid risky behavior\, nurture strong relationships\, stay mentally engaged\, eat thoughtfully\, exercise regularly\, and get enough sleep. What’s especially compelling here are the personal stories\, expert guidance\, and medical research that explains why all this makes a difference. Book signing and ice cream to follow. \nZeke Emanuel\, Author\, “Eat Your Ice Cream” \nModerator: Céline Gounder\, Editor-at-Large for Public Health\, KFF Health News.

SUMMARY:Community Series at Aspen Ideas: Health – Longevity at Altitude $20
DESCRIPTION:Living at high elevations seems to pay off. The communities surrounding Aspen have the highest life expectancies in the nation\, averaging about 86 years. And recent research has found an association between life at high altitudes and lower risk of dying from heart disease\, stroke\, and some cancers. But that advantage isn’t a guarantee\, and there are plenty of things we can do to improve the odds of maintaining lifelong wellness at any altitude. Here is a look at the lifestyle and healthcare tools that can help keep us in peak form. \nMegan Hiles\, Primary Care Physician; Director\, Longevity and Wellness Center\, Aspen Valley Health \nJamie Justice\, Executive Vice President of the Health Domain\, XPRIZE Foundation \nModerator: Allison Aubrey\, Health and Science Correspondent\, NPR \n(Presented with media sponsor Aspen Public Radio.)

SUMMARY:Community Series at Aspen Ideas: Health – Healthcare in the Mountains $20
DESCRIPTION:Workforce shortages\, geographic isolation\, and limited access to specialty and behavioral health services are longstanding challenges of providing care in the Roaring Fork Valley. But our rural communities are resilient and creative solutions to the barriers of travel\, affordability\, and physician scarcity are emerging. Providers are placing more emphasis on proactive wellness and prevention\, investing in technology and virtual medicine\, and partnering with larger medical systems to provide networks of care to our mountain residents. \nRichard Becker\, CEO\, Aspen Valley Health \nAngelia Salazar\, CEO\, Western Healthcare Alliance \nKathleen Sebelius\, 21st US Secretary of Health and Human Services \nModerator: Breeze Richardson\, Executive Director\, Aspen Public Radio. \n(Presented with media sponsor Aspen Public Radio.)

SUMMARY:Community Series at Aspen Ideas: Health – Digital Health in Aspen $20
DESCRIPTION:Wearables that track steps\, heart rate\, and sleep quality have become commonplace among fitness enthusiasts and others in Aspen. Today’s devices go further\, offering continuous\, personalized monitoring to measure heart rhythm\, oxygen levels\, and movement patterns. In this health-conscious community\, the data can help improve athletic performance\, sync with food-tracking apps to highlight the links between diet and energy levels\, and provide early warning signals of disease. But how reliable are these technologies? Using them wisely requires that we feel confident in their accuracy\, agree on what truly qualifies as medical advice\, and protect the value of an effective doctor-patient relationship. \nAmi Bhatt\, Chief Innovation Officer\, American College of Cardiology \nKaite Drasser\, CEO RockHealth.org \nMichelle Gelroth\, Chief Transformation Officer\, Aspen Valley Health \nModerator: Elizabeth Cohen\, Contributor\, NBC News and AtlanticLIVE \n(Presented with media sponsor Aspen Public Radio.)

SUMMARY:Changemaker Speaker Series: Deanne Fitzmaurice A250 Portrait of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Wheeler’s ongoing Changemaker Speaker Series\, A250 Portrait of a Nation features Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Deanne Fitzmaurice in an illustrated talk marking America’s 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th. Offered free to the public with advance RSVP required\, the program reflects a shared commitment to access\, civic dialogue\, and storytelling that sparks reflection and connection. \nDrawing from nearly forty years as a photojournalist—including her tenure at the San Francisco Chronicle and assignments for National Geographic\, Sports Illustrated\, and ESPN—Fitzmaurice revisits defining chapters of recent American history. Her work spans the AIDS crisis\, the Loma Prieta earthquake\, marriage‑equality rulings\, climate events\, and cultural touchstones from professional sports to Route 66. \nCentral to the presentation is her Pulitzer Prize–winning photographic essay chronicling the recovery of a wounded Iraqi boy\, anchoring a broader meditation on resilience\, humanity\, and the role of visual journalism in shaping national memory. As part of the Changemaker Speaker Series\, A250 Portrait of a Nation highlights the power of storytelling to deepen understanding during moments of historic significance. \nThis is a free\, but ticketed\, community event; advance RSVP is encouraged to secure reservations.
