Time to examine how @UCSFHospitals addresses the needs of our older vulnerable population and their primary care.

[Louise Aronson @LouiseAronson]

In my consult clinic yesterday (because our geri primary care clinic is capped), 2 patients came to see me because they couldn't get primary care @UCSFHospitals. @UCSF builds new hospitals & research centers & shamelessly neglects the care patients prefer to avoid hospitalization

Ageism is an interesting bias as it is a "bias against your future self" via @LouiseAronson at @UCSF grand rounds with @Bob_Wachter

STOP California budget cut on services to older adults! Services like IHSS, adult day health programs, MSSP, etc, keep my patients well so they can stay home, stay independent, and enjoy life. #CareNotCuts #elderjustice @GavinNewsom

So excited to be the first Age Friendly Health System in UCSF ambulatory care!

This is an astonishingly proactive response to #COVID19 in Taiwan (just 81 miles off the coast of mainland China). Their public health decisions limited #coronavirus cases to 45 (latest official count on WHO website) https://t.co/xkkBFqgQor #WhatWeCanLearn @JAMA_current
