Managing Multiple Chronic Conditions

Chronic illnesses don’t always happen one at a time. They often cluster together — leaving older adults juggling medications, appointments and physical limitations in their day-to-day lives. On this episode of Aging Forward, Dr. Brent Smith breaks down how we can age well when life feels medically complex. He explains why he recommends an annual medication review, the potential advantages of deprescribing and how realistic goal-setting can create a cascade of benefits for overall well-being.
