Care transitions are critical in discharging older adults - but often under-supported/funded. Tomorrow at #ACEP22 we’ll discuss how Geri EDs large & small are addressing this! And since @CameronGettel can’t be there, we are going to feature patient quotes from his great work!⬇️

3⃣Subsequent health care navigation difficulties
