Most older adults self-rate their #MentalHealth as "well" or "very well," despite research showing otherwise, according to a CVS Health study. Age brings unique mental health stressors, like social isolation, lifestyle changes and the death of loved ones. But previous generations aren't always comfortable discussing their mental health struggles. It's up to #PrimaryCare providers to create a safe space and help patients understand their mental health is a medical issue, not a personal weakness. https://bit.ly/4d4YgP0

As temperatures rise, #HeatSafety is more important than ever — especially for older adults. Age, medications and atmospheric conditions can all create a higher risk of heat stroke. But our executive medical director, Dr. John Schumann, MD, reminds HuffPost that — no matter what — hydration is essential. He says: "If you reach the point where you’re actually thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. You should be hydrating enough so that you’re not getting thirsty.” Read more of his tips: https://bit.ly/46igien

Medication adherence can help overcome health concerns and manage symptoms of acute and chronic conditions, yet many people struggle with sticking to their medication schedule. High costs, physical or mental impairments, mistrust of a healthcare provider and side effects can all contribute to improper #MedicationAdherence. When #PrimaryCare providers take time to build a trusting relationship, they can work together on overcoming these hurdles and set patients on a sustainable treatment path. https://lnkd.in/gHW-ZF5v
