Colleagues,
As you know, the number of people over the age of 60 continues to rise. Those of us in
practice are likely to see increasing numbers of older adults. Often, the problems of
seniors are inter-related and include medical, psychological, social, legal, and financial
issues. Being able to access and offer information about these issues can be an important
element in the treatment process. In fact, seniors are one of the fastest growing age
groups using the Internet, and they have a particular interest in information about aging
and health.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
