Providing health care
to an aging population is one of the most pressing health care
challenges confronting the Monterey Bay area in California as well
as the nation. While 75% of the senior population has at least one
chronic disease, 20% have five or more chronic diseases coupled with
medical disorders such as depression, dementia and delirium.
Prevention, early detection and treatment of chronic conditions
require new and fundamentally different approaches than those
currently offered.
This multidisciplinary conference will cover a broad range of
geriatric and chronic care topics relevant to primary care
providers, nurses, behavioral and allied health professionals who
provide care to older adults. Since most of the challenges in health
care are due to a variety of complex issues, MBayGRC's conference
covers a broad spectrum of topics from specific diseases and related
treatments, to assessment/care management, services
delivery/coordination and health policy related issues.
Additionally, the 2008 conference will include a special focus on
neurological diseases.
This conference is presented by MBayGRC, a regional consortium of
health care and educational organizations in the Monterey Bay area,
in collaboration with UCSF School of Medicine CME Office. |
