As we age, navigating healthcare can become challenging. Older adults can find healthcare, prescriptions and insurance hard to access and difficult to understand. But managing your healthcare doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Dr. Heidi Schwarzwald, Chief Medical Officer at Signify Health, joins our Laura Cavanaugh to share some easy ways to get back on track, take control and protect your health and well-being.
Very often, as we age, older adults develop chronic illnesses. More than half of older Americans see up to three physicians at any time.
Schwarzwald says having a primary care physician that you see on a regular basis is essential.
Developing a personal health management plan is the first step in taking an active role in your health. Schwarzwald says know your numbers, key metrics like weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose.
“Making sure you understand these numbers can help you take an active role in your health,” said Schwarzwald.
