2. “Of all the self-fulfilling prophecies in
our culture, the assumption that aging
means decline and poor health is
probably the deadliest.” --
Marilyn Ferguson, The Aquarian Conspiracy
4. I believe our elders deserve
the best our health-care
systems can offer …
5. … and that our health
care systems deserve
every opportunity to
provide that care
efficiently and affordably.
6. I’ve spent the last two decades
educating health care teams on
the special needs of the elderly …
7. … and helping health care systems
efficiently and effectively manage elder care
across the continuum …
8. In hospitals In senior care facilities
In their
communities
And in
their homes
9. I apply the knowledge I’ve gained…
as a master’s-prepared gerontological nurse…
as an experienced clinician, educator, and
quality-improvement expert…
and as a home-care supervisor
for a major health system …
10. … to help the health care team reduce
re-hospitalization rates
$$$$$$$$ $
…to use Evidence Based Practice to
reduce falls and wounds
…and to treat our elderly with the care,
compassion, and concern they deserve.
11. I am often called upon to help
“sandwich-generation” friends
manage the transitions
in their parents’ health care.
