Time to examine how @UCSFHospitals addresses the needs of our older vulnerable population and their primary care.
In my consult clinic yesterday (because our geri primary care clinic is capped), 2 patients came to see me because they couldn't get primary care @UCSFHospitals. @UCSF builds new hospitals & research centers & shamelessly neglects the care patients prefer to avoid hospitalization

Ageism is an interesting bias as it is a "bias against your future self" via @LouiseAronson at @UCSF grand rounds with @Bob_Wachter

STOP California budget cut on services to older adults! Services like IHSS, adult day health programs, MSSP, etc, keep my patients well so they can stay home, stay independent, and enjoy life. #CareNotCuts #elderjustice @GavinNewsom

So excited to be the first Age Friendly Health System in UCSF ambulatory care!
The UCSF Center for Geriatric Care achieved Level 1 recognition from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement as an Age-Friendly Health System! The effort was spearheaded by Dr. Pei Chen (@peichenMD) with support from our GWEP. #geriatrics

Our healthcare providers and patients thank you for your help!
Thank you to our Ohana for delivering our first 9000 masks to UCSF. We are working hard across all of our resources & relationships to deliver an additional 5 million masks this week plus additional critical PPE. All of us need to focus on getting PPE to our local hospitals. ❤️

Imagine a world where #Medicare covers #hearingaids! Perhaps this is a signature bill for @SenWarren to consider? So grateful for her championing of #OTC hearing aids #AGS19 👂👂🏻👂🏼👂🏽👂🏾👂🏿
