Navigating care across multiple clinics, specialists, and settings can be difficult for older adults and their caregivers.
I’m proud that @UofUHealth has earned the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s highest age-friendly designation, one of just 14 health systems nationwide to do so.
Grateful to the many people across our system who work to make age-friendly practices part of everyday care, and for what that means for older adults and their families.
