It’s no secret that age is catching up with us. A release by the US Census Bureau predicts that older adults will outnumber children for the first time in our nation’s history by the year 2030. This means that more people will take the lead in caring for their senior parents, family members and neighbors—a trend that includes over 40 million Americans today who serve as unpaid caregivers for an adult age 65 and up, many with major health issues.
Tune in to Well Said with Dr. Ira Nash for a timely talk about how to prepare to care for the aging loved ones in your life with guests Maria Carney, MD, associate professor of medicine, Zucker School of Medicine, and chief, division of geriatric and palliative medicine, Northwell Health, and Gina Granger, MA, MSEd, assistant director, medical science youth programs, Zucker School of Medicine, who shares her experience as a caregiver of an elderly parent.
