In order to improve the health a nd wellbeing of older adults, we launched in 2018 a Project ECHO focu sing on the care of older adults. Among the many challenges Kentuckia ns face in rural and underserved communities is healthcare access. This is especially true for older adults. In these communities, it can be difficult for individuals to find providers close to them who are educated in the co mplexities of caring for older adults.
Project ECHO: Care of Older Adults is a growing community of health care providers and community stakeholders dedicated to best practices in the care of older adults. Each session (on the 1st and 3rdFrid ay, 12:00-1:00 pm EST) includes an educational didactic (topics fo und in the schedule below), case presentation, and discussion to address t he following needs:
