Aging Matters
Hospitals & Health Risks Trailer | Aging Matters | NPT
If you’re sick or hurt enough to go to the hospital, you expect to leave in better shape than when you arrived. But as we age, it becomes increasingly dangerous to be in the hospital. On NPT's Aging Matters, we explore the benefits and risks of hospital treatment as we grow older. We’ll also look at a growing movement by hospitals to adapt to the unique needs of the aging baby boom population.
