Thrilled to share the official press release for the Northwell Institute for Healthy Aging! @MCarneyMD @NorthwellHealth
Northwell announced the launch of the Institute for Healthy Aging, a systemwide initiative designed to transform how healthcare is delivered as people age.
The health system’s 28 hospitals, physician practices, outpatient programs, research facilities and community programs will be unified under a single mission: to help adults and their loved ones not just manage illness but prevent it — preserving health, independence and quality of life across the aging journey.

1 in 4 home health aides report burnout.
1 in 4 face racism.
1 in 4 experience violence.
And still—87% are proud of the work they do.
They show up every day to care for our loved ones. We need to show up for them.

Dementia is littered with interventions like thickened liquids & PEG tubes that became standard of practice on theoretical benefits without clinical evidence. My editorial in @JAMAInternalMed gives 3 recs to consider if thinking about thickened liquids
