About Dr. Bill Thomas
He calls himself a revolutionary. He’s helped transform nursing home care through the Eden Alternative and Green House movements.
But he seeks nothing less than transformative aging by focusing on changing how we think about and approach aging. He challenges the negative stereotypes in hopes of changing the narrative. “How people interpret their experience goes a long way to determining their well-being so I decided to go out into the world and start changing the story of aging.”
Dr. Bill Thomas is an author, entrepreneur, musician, teacher, farmer and physician. The Wall Street Journal calls him one of the nation’s “top 10 innovators” and US News & World Report named him one of “America’s best leaders.”
