👵 Journée nationale des aînés, 1er octobre | Mieux vieillir commence par agir tôt 👴 Le Dr Gustavo Duque, gériatre au CUSM, directeur de la Division de médecine gériatrique de l’Université McGill et directeur scientifique d’ICOPE Québec, s’est récemment entretenu avec CBC sur l’importance de reconnaître tôt les changements qui peuvent affecter la santé et les capacités fonctionnelles. Mis au point par l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé et adapté au Québec par Schouela CEDurable, le programme ICOPE (Soins intégrés pour les personnes âgées) s’intéresse à six domaines clés du vieillissement en santé : la mobilité, la cognition, le bien-être psychologique, la vision, l’audition et la nutrition. L'objectif est d'aider les personnes à identifier les domaines dans lesquels un accompagnement pourrait leur être utile et de les orienter vers les ressources adaptées. Grâce à son travail en médecine gériatrique et en recherche à @RIMUHC1, le Dr Duque contribue à faire progresser les approches qui favorisent un vieillissement en santé et une plus grande autonomie. 🔗 Pour écouter l’entrevue du Dr Duque à CBC et en savoir plus sur ICOPE Québec : bit.ly/46TxN64 - 👵 National Senior Day, October 1st | Healthy aging starts with acting early 👴 Dr. Gustavo Duque, geriatrician at the MUHC, Director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine at @mcgillu and Scientific Director of ICOPE Québec recently spoke with CBC about the importance of identifying changes in health and abilities early. Developed by the @@WHO and adapted to Québec by @aging_CEDurable, the ICOPE (Integrated Care for Older People) program focuses on six key areas linked to healthy aging: mobility, cognition, psychological well-being, vision, hearing and nutrition. The goal is to help people identify areas where support may be useful and connect them with appropriate resources. Through his work in geriatric medicine and research at the Research Institute of the MUHC, Dr. Duque is helping advance approaches that support healthy aging and greater independence. 🔗 Listen to Dr. Duque’s CBC interview and learn more about ICOPE Québec: bit.ly/46TxN64

Merci @MarkJCarney ! Le classement de l'Hôpital général juif au deuxième rang des hôpitaux du Québec n'aurait pas été possible sans le dévouement extraordinaire du personnel de l'HGJ et la générosité des donateurs.
Heureux de voir nos travailleurs de la santé et nos hôpitaux obtenir la reconnaissance qu'ils méritent. Nous protégeons et améliorons notre système de santé, notamment en construisant de nouvelles installations et en apportant le soutien nécessaire à ses professionnels.
