Are You Prepared?

As our population ages, many of us will inevitably confront the challenges of hospitalization – oftentimes due to a medical emergency when we least expect it. 

The critical question is: Are you prepared? 

Families often find themselves unprepared for the profound impact illness and injury can have on a loved one. While a patient may have been active and healthy before needing hospitalization, illness in a 75- or 80-year-old is not the same as illness in a 50-year-old. Older patients generally need extra support in the hospital and may require longer recoveries after serious illness or injury. 

Understanding how to advocate for your loved one in the emergency department or inpatient hospital setting is crucial for ensuring they receive the best possible care.
