More than two-thirds of deaths in Allegheny County result from chronic disease, many of these deaths occurring in the senior population. is addressing this issue: has a strong set of programs to address chronic disease in seniors, from prevention and education to early detection to chronic disease management. plans to do more to focus on this priority: plans to expand their existing programs focused on addressing chronic disease in seniors by increasing the number of seniors utilizing these programs. One way plans to increase is to leverage their current relationship with area nursing homes/snfs to promote these programs, as well as establishing partnerships with area hospice organizations, senior high rises, and assisted/independent living facilities.

For these reasons health literacy with regard to these special needs is not only important for seniors, but their health care providers as well. is addressing this issue: is addressing this priority through specialized in hospital clinical care for geriatric populations through the Geriatric Care Center as well as through provider training and education on the health needs of the elderly and coordination with and provision of education to skilled nursing facilities. plans to do more to focus on this priority: plans to continue to offer clinical, educational and coordination programs and initiatives related to senior care, and also plans to expand these programs by increasing the number of provider participants.
