In his recent article, Humana's Vivek Garg, MD, MBA makes a compelling case for re-establishing primary care as the foundation of wellness for older adults. Evidence shows that older adults who receive high quality specialized primary care, like that offered by CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Center, exhibit significantly higher engagement in their own care. This whole-person care model leads to better preventive and chronic care quality, and a notable reduction in avoidable ER visits and hospitalizations, especially among traditionally underserved populations. As we age, our healthcare needs become more complex and personalized. Our healthcare system must do the same. Emphasizing primary care tailored to older adults not only enhances their health outcomes, but also supports their individual journey to becoming more of themselves. Investing in such holistic care models ensures our aging loved ones live healthier, more fulfilling lives. As we say at Nymbl Science: balance training is for everyone. We are thrilled to work alongside leaders like Dr. Garg who prioritize primary care as the key to wellness for our aging population. #Healthcare #PrimaryCare #SeniorHealth #PreventiveCare #CenterWell #Conviva #Wellness #Aging
