KINGSTON, R.I. — Sept. 29, 2025 — As the world’s population continues to age, health care has become increasingly complex. The natural aging process frequently leads to cognitive decline, a rise in medical diagnoses, and an increase in specialist appointments. These challenges often result in older adults managing multiple prescriptions, making it essential for pharmacists to step into a pivotal role in their care.
The 68th Annual Youngken Clinic will focus on these pressing issues, bringing together health care professionals, researchers, and community members to discuss innovative strategies for improving the health of older adults. The event aims to foster collaboration among various health disciplines, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to elder care.
Participants will engage in workshops and discussions that highlight the latest research in geriatric health, medication management, and the integration of technology in patient care. This year’s clinic underscores the commitment to enhancing the quality of life for older adults, ensuring they receive the comprehensive care they deserve.
