In February 2007, NACHC produced the document “Elderly Services In Health Centers: A Guide to Position Your Health Center to Serve a Growing Elderly Population.” That document presented issues for health centers to consider to meet elders’ health care needs and to take advantage of opportunities presented by the growing elderly population. This document continues NACHC’s efforts to position health centers to assure elderly people access to quality health care, but with a focus on individuals with medical or mental health conditions that limit their ability to care for themselves.
