Working with Older People and Their Families

This important book is based on research done within the John Hartford Foundation's Generalist Physician Initiative. It offers the first detailed analysis of the changing structure and organization of health care delivery systems for elderly people. The contributors describe nine different sites offering primary care in urban, suburban, and rural settings, and show what makes each of these successful care-providers. The book is notable for its geographical spread and the variability in the sign and implementation of models and caregiving.
