Mission: |
The
Foundation launched its Aging and Quality of Life Program in 1996.
Its goal remains improving the quality of life for America’s elderly
by preparing physicians to provide better care for them when they
become ill. Most physicians today lack adequate training to meet
the needs of the frail elderly patient. Such patients typically
suffer from interacting physical, social and psychological
conditions –both acute and chronic – that limit their independence
and threaten their capacity to function in daily life. |
