Opportunity Purpose

As we age we can become more frail. Detecting and managing frailty early is important. To assess frailty, an in-person visit to the doctor's office is typically required. Can older adults use websites to help with early detection and care of frailty? We want to hear your thoughts. Register here: [link no longer available]
