Greensburg, PA 鈥� 茄子视频 University鈥檚 Social Work Program, in partnership with The Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging and the United Way of Westmoreland County, will present Will You Still Need Me When I鈥檓 64? Implications for Aging in Southwestern Pennsylvania on Wednesday, March 24 from 9 鈥� 11 a.m. in Room 206 of 茄子视频鈥檚 Administration Building.

鈥淚n response to demographic changes in Western Pennsylvania, we have to start providing health care services in new and different ways,鈥� says Dr. Fred Rubin, Chief, Dept. of Medicine, Shadyside Hospital, who is speaking at 茄子视频 on appropriate health care for the aging, both in the doctor鈥檚 office and in the home. 鈥淎s a physician who treats older patients, I believe it鈥檚 part of my mission to share what I鈥檝e learned about appropriate health care for seniors, both in the doctor鈥檚 office and in the home. It鈥檚 important to dispel the myth that 鈥榦ld people are sick.鈥� Most senior citizens are neither sick nor frail.鈥�

鈥淚 propose that social workers be trained and function as radicals who will tirelessly advocate for the dependent and will, in the years to come, turn a complex, often disjointed system on its head so that care comes before the paperwork,鈥� says Mildred Morrison of the Allegheny County Dept. of Human Services/Area Agency on Aging, who will address the re-engineering of aging services at the seminar. 鈥淣o matter what their field, our society needs social workers who can help re-engineer access to services, current understandings of families, and basic social policies.鈥�

Will You Still Need Me When I鈥檓 64? is ideal for employees of human service organizations, private practitioners, social workers, sociologists and psychologists as well as for educators in the field and their students. Cost is $20 per person, with a $10 additional fee for licensed social workers attending the event who wish to be awarded two continuing education units for their participation.
