On today’s episode, we’re discussing our recent recognition in geriatric care. More than 150,000 people over the age of 65 live right here in Ventura County, and that number is growing. To meet this critical need for older adult-focused care, Community Memorial Hospital-Ventura has been awarded the Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation. This is a national accreditation for organizations that demonstrate a commitment to providing the best care possible for our senior community.

Joining us today is Bret McClure, Director of Emergency Services at Community Memorial Healthcare, to talk more about what this prestigious accreditation means for our patients and our community.
