Introduction
Re-discovered telehealth - it’s big - or is it?
by Dr. Marion Somers, PhD
I am often asked to share stories about my experiences with the elderly over the years. As a professional Geriatric Care Manager for the last three decades, I have come across many unique situations that you just can't make up. One particular circumstance involved an elderly woman whom I'll call Susanna.
She came into my life 16 years ago as a frail but independent 74-year old woman who needed a Geriatric Care Manager to help her maintain her quality of life. Sadly, she didn't have any other relatives who could serve in that role.
