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.
