Providing Better Health Care for the Elderly
The lifespan of US citizens has increased exponentially over the past century. With people living longer lives and elderly populations growing at a more rapid pace, finding ways to provide quality healthcare for these individuals has become the most important. Since there are thousands and millions of more people, living longer than ever before, now more than ever, it’s important to begin to address problems present in senior care before patients and their families suffer from an overburdened and unprepared system. Mark Berger, a healthcare executive from Chicago, expects that by 2030, more people than ever will be at risk of developing chronic diseases, ill-health and dependence that often accompany advanced old age, which will lead to increasing demands by this growing segment of the population.
