Sunday's General Session will begin with an Awards presentation by the Foundation for PALTC Medicine, followed by the Year in Review presentation then the Anne-Marie Filkin Lecture.

THIS YEAR IN REVIEW IN LONG-TERM CARE
In this session, we present 9-12 articles published in the past year which have the potential to impact the practice of medicine and the processes of care for frail elders in the continuum of care. All articles are chosen through a Modified Delphi approach and critically appraised by experienced, medical providers and educators. This presentation has been well received each year and is often the site of spirited discussion.

ANNE MARIE FILKIN LECTURE - Viewing LTC Challenges Through a Caregiver’s Eyes presented by Karen Klink, Caregiver.
After a successful career as a stock trader, Karen Klink became an active non-profit volunteer leader and then a caregiver for her aging mother. The exposure has given her experience with and insights into the long-term care system and the challenges caregivers often face in ensuring the best possible care and quality of life for their loved ones. She will share these—and more—with PALTC24 attendees next month during Sunday morning’s Anne-Marie Filkin lecture.
