A plan for regional medical health centers for the geriatric patient.

Abstract:

:A rough plan is proposed which may facilitate the care of geriatric patients. The plan is to introduce pilot programs of geriatric regional centers attached to Veteran's Administration hospitals. Thus, at minimal cost, the problems of geriatric medicine would be under the supervision of our excellent university medical centers.
