SEGMENT 1:
Each year, fewer than 300 physicians enter geriatric training programs nationally - a number than continues to decrease. What isn't decreasing is the number of older Americans who could use their services. Currently, we only have about one geriatrician for every 5,000 older Americans and the gap is expected to rise to just one doctor for every 36,000 seniors by 2030.
Guests:
Dr. Bill Zafirau - Geriatrician with Summa Health Care in Akron
Dr. Charles Pool - a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
POSITIVE-AGING SEGMENT:
Since 1977, more than 300 individuals have been inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. Artists, teachers, administrators, nurses, activists and volunteers, to name a few, are nominated based on service to others and achievements after age 60 and for lifetime achievements that represent positive aging.
Guest Dene Wagner Pelligrinon, a 2007 Hall of Fame inductee, has devoted the 40 years she has lived in Gallia County to giving back to her community. A shining example of active aging, she brings a 'can-do' attitude to anything she undertakes.
