It’s hard to read a headline, or listen to the local/national news without hearing about a new drug and/or procedure that promises to extend life or resolve some of the miseries experienced during the aging process. This course is designed to provide expert education regarding many of the chronic diseases or illnesses that challenge the aging process. It is also designed to provide ample opportunities for the participants to seek new information by having questions addressed by medical and healthcare professionals.

Information will be available in handouts and on the course website.

Each week will be taught by a specialist and/or provider addressing a different topic including geriatrics, orthopedics, cardiology, pulmonology, gynecology or urology, and pharmaceutical issues.
