From the National Council on Aging’s website:
Every day, millions of people with chronic diseases struggle to manage their symptoms. About 80% of older adults have at least one chronic disease, and 68% have at least two. Chronic diseases place a significant burden on individuals as well as health care systems.
The good news is that people with chronic diseases who learn how to manage their symptoms can improve their quality of life and reduce their health care costs.
The National Council on Aging distributes proven programs in-person and online that empower individuals to manage their own care and improve their quality of life.
