On May 26th, ONSF was honored to host Dr. Paul Billings, a nationally recognized leader in longevity science, for an illuminating fireside conversation with award‑winning journalist Joan Lunden. With more than fifty attendees joining us, the event explored the rapidly evolving landscape of longevity and health span, examining what is grounded in science, what is emerging, and what truly matters as we think about aging well. The conversation offered a thoughtful look at how these developments are shaping the future of aging and long‑term health.
As longevity becomes a more personal and actionable topic for many, Dr. Billings highlighted the growing importance of preserving strength, mobility, cognitive acuity, and independence across the decades ahead. His insights offered clarity in a field often crowded by trends and noise, helping our community better understand how the human genome is influencing future healthcare.
This inaugural lecture marks the beginning of a curated ONSF series designed to bring scientific rigor, discernment, and practical insight to topics that influence long‑term health and quality of life. Creating access to conversations like this reflects our commitment to advancing knowledge, elevating clinical understanding, and supporting the next generation of orthopedic leaders, including through our ASES approved Orthopedic Surgical Fellowship program where exceptional young surgeons are mentored during the most transformative stage of their training.
Our thanks to Dr. Paul Billings and Joan Lunden for bringing such clarity and depth to this important conversation.
