Dr. Marilyn Heins: Journeys to Geriatrica: Keeping our Minds Active as We Age

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

How come a retired pediatrician, as far from a geriatrician as you can get, wrote a book on aging? This retired pediatrician became a nonagenarian! What does this book cover? It is a travel guide to the land of Geriatrica where us aging folks live with maps drawn by the esteemed cartoonist Davis Fitzsimmons. There are chapters on planning for the trip, dangers to watch out for,housing, downsizing, my personal odyssey, plus geriatric health, love, and finances. Who is this book for? All us Medicare kids, those already dwelling in Geriatrica, new immigrants, children of aging parents, caretakers of the elderly, and any curious young adults who figure they will be old one day. My lecture will include answers to the above questions and time for your questions. I invite you to attend.
