The principles and practices of geriatrics are widely disseminated, and we understand much more about how to improve care. Yet we don’t have enough geriatricians to meet the growing demand.

A leading geriatrician says a lot of health information for older adults isn’t as useful as it should be. No person’s aging process looks exactly like another’s. So she’s written a guidebook.

Physician Louise Aronson treats patients who are in their 60s — as well as those who are older than 100. She writes about changing approaches to elder health care in her book Elderhood.
