Elevate Eldercare


Apr 20, 2022

During this pandemic there has been a trusted and credible voice that has used data to shine a light on the urgent need for comprehensive nursing home reform in this country – and that voice is Dr. David Grabowski.

Dr. Grabowski is a professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School and has published over 200 peer-reviewed research articles. He has often been called upon by government agencies to be a technical advisor, or to sit on committees and lend his expertise when nursing homes are at the center of an issue.

In today’s episode Dr. Grabowski discusses his work with the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine committee which recently released their findings on nursing homes after an 18-month review process. Dr. Grabowski unpacks the report and his perspective on the recommendations.

If you’ve been looking for the best way to use your voice in this nursing home reform effort – this is the episode for you!
