About this Event
Aging brings new opportunities to focus on health, independence, and quality of life. Join Monadnock Community Hospital for an informative seminar on how to support health and well-being as we age.
This panel discussion will introduce the Age-Friendly Health Systems approach, which focuses on four key areas of care known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medic*tion, Mentation, and Mobility. These principles help ensure that healthcare for older adults supports personal goals, safety, and overall well-being.
Experts from Monadnock Community Hospital will share practical information on how these areas influence care decisions and how individuals and families can advocate for the care that matters most to them.
Topics include:
- Maintaining mobility and strength to support independence
- Recognizing and addressing memory and mental health changes
- Understanding medications and how they affect aging adults
- Ensuring healthcare decisions align with personal goals and preferences
The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer discussion with the panel.
Additional resources and information will be available at the event.
