Lila Steiner, left, resource promotion coordinator, and Georgette Stratos, senior research scholar and director of the Stanford University Geriatric Education Resource Center, display some of the educational materials the center has distributed since April to help primary care physicians and residents understand more about the elderly patients they treat. Sponsored by the New York-based John A. Hartford Foundation, the center represents a consortium of eight academic medical centers and the American Academy of Family Physicians. The Stanford center was awarded $1.9 million in four-year grants to support the resource dissemination effort. "The vast majority of elderly patients are treated in a primary care setting, not by a geriatrics specialist, so internal medicine and family practice doctors must have the tools they need to serve this growing population," Stratos said. |
