About My Philosophy
Welcome! I’m a board-certified geriatrician who believes that educating and empowering caregivers is essential to improving the health and wellbeing of aging adults. After all, caregivers have the most important – and toughest – jobs when it comes to the health of an older person.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” ― Chinese Proverb
Through my work online and in person, I help family caregivers learn to better manage the health needs of their older loved ones.
I also work with eldercare professionals, residential communities, and others who are dedicated to helping aging adults with their health, independence, and wellbeing.
In this 2011 video, I talk about why caregivers are so important to my work as a doctor.
