A previous post drew on a description of the geriatric care delivered at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and helped me… I want to recruit you! October 28, 2009 - "I want to recruit you!" Regardless of your view about the proper role of geriatrics specialists - direct service providers or researchers/educators - the fact remains that we need more of them. As we succeed in setting higher standards for competence among generalists in caring for older adults in medicine… Communicating with the White House October 30, 2009 - Recently I got my follow-up post card that I filled out at our interdisciplinary scholars communications training held in July 2009 in Chicago. See below. If you can read my writing, you can see the lessons that I took from the training and wanted to try to implement in my… Better Geriatric Care = Easier Caregiving November 04, 2009 - When we talk about what we do at the Foundation, we often get asked, "What are you doing for caregivers?"

While the AHRQ is not particularly focused on the care of older people, in many ways it is the NIH “institute” with which the Foundation has… Match Point November 06, 2009 - There’s a scourge in our midst about to kill off any hope that geriatric medicine will grow any larger than it already is.

I’ll call it… Aging in My Place November 13, 2009 - On my block in Brooklyn, we have a great mixture of people of all ages—young families with kids, empty nesters, young old, and old old.
