Friday, September 30th, 2011
The 2011 WVGS Scientific Assembly, “Thriving in the New Health Care Environment,” was a great success. Receiving very favorable feedback from a large audience of participants, health care providers and others who are interested in the well being of older adults in West Virginia obtained information on the anticipated impacts of coming changes in the health care environment. This included sessions on: Long-Term Health Care models, a Pro/Con discussion on pain medications for the elderly and additional presentations on quality improvement and/or practice based changes in patient care. This year's event was held in conjunction with the the LTCP 2011 Summit on September 29th, 2011.
