S1. Ep12. Aging with Grace and Positivity: Lessons from 93-Year-Old Scholar and Community Leader Dr. Ron Fitzgerald"
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Ron Fitzgerald, a 93-year-old man who continues to live an active and inspiring life. Despite the challenges that come with aging, Dr. Fitzgerald believes in making the world a better place for everyone through loving yourself and spreading kindness and compassion. He shares his personal story of how he has dealt with the emotional and psychological changes that come with aging, particularly as social support networks change.
Dr. Fitzgerald has always appreciated the importance of good nutrition, continual learning, and embracing new ideas. He was the Churchill Scholarship winner in 1972, which involved studying worldwide on the topic of “Different Approaches to Secondary Education for Older Adolescents”. He retired in 1994 from the post of Director of the Public Policy Research and Development Centre at Deakin University, after working as Dean of General Studies, Chief Research Officer, and the Commissioner for Education for the National Enquiry into Poverty based in ACT Parliament House.
As someone who refuses to be defined by a number, Dr. Fitzgerald remains secretary of a community group and enjoys a weekly personal trainer. He welcomes opportunities to interact with people of every generation and looks forward to the vigorous exchange of positive ideas in the rapidly expanding field of aged care. Join us as we hear his inspiring story and learn from his wisdom on how to age with grace and positivity.
