Webinar #2 in the Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series

The second webinar offered in the 3-part Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series focuses on key issues involving the care of the aging population in corrections. This program aims to equip health care professionals, correctional staff, and other stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to address the unique, often forgotten, needs of the incarcerated older adult patients and will emphasize the importance of compassionate, evidence-based health care to promote the well-being, dignity and respect for the older adult patient. There is a critical need to enhance services to ensure they are age-friendly and tailored to the complex needs of older individuals.

$69 ($59 for CCHPs), includes access to the power point presentation, the webinar recording and CE credit – 1.00 hours for ACCME, ANCC, APA, and CCHP.
