Upcoming Webinar: Raising the Bar with Heart Failure Management in Older Adults

What can physical therapists do to better manage heart failure in older adults?

Join APTA Geriatrics on November 4 at 7:00 p.m. CST/8:00 p.m. EST for a webinar with Dr. Konrad Dias. He will discuss how the Geriatric 5Ms framework can support evidence-based, patient-centered care.

You’ll learn practical ways to include Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multicomplexity, and What Matters Most in your treatment plans. These strategies can help improve health and quality of life for older adults with heart failure.
