Laura Olivares from Nothing Forgotten, Inc. is posting this interesting article by Katy Butler in the SF Chronicle for everyone to read. ” According to a 2017 Kaiser Foundation study, 7 in 10 Americans hope to die at home. But half die in nursing homes and hospitals, and more than a tenth are cruelly shuttled from one to the other in their final three days.” Please see this link to the article

At the 4/10/19 Orion NYC meeting we had a wonderful presentation by Adrienne Jaret, M.S.P.H., Administrative Director of the Center on Aging and Behavioral Research at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM). We learned about the research WCM is doing and ways to get involved in their projects.
The Center’s goal is to improve the quality of life for older adults and their families in the community. Their focus is on the study of aging with emphasis on team science and implementation science. The Center is committed to serving diverse populations and the integration of technology into research and intervention programs. They are eager to have people join their programs and encouraged our members to reach out to them.
The feedback was very positive and many there asked for a copy of the material. Attached is a brief description of the Center’s current projects along with the recruitment flyers. Also included is a brief PowerPoint (saved as a PDF) so the information is in one place for easy access.
If you have any questions or want to learn more, please contact Adrienne Jaret at adj2012@med.cornell.edu or 646-962-7153.
