My broadcast was LIVE from Brooklyn, NY, on the cusp of Coney Island and Brighton Beach! Not even a year ago, this area was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Brooklyn has since bounced back better than ever and Brooklyn-ites are, once again, enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.

Tonight, I spoke about the benefits of having a Geriatrician as the primary medical doctor for an older adult, as they, not only know about the differences in care needed for an older adult than for a younger adult, but also can be the central coordinator between the various specialists that are treating the older adult. I have discovered, through my own experiences with my parents, that this is extremely beneficial and, really, pretty critical for good health care.
