From the Physician Editor
I am pleased to introduce this month’s special issue of Annals of Long-Term Care: Clinical Care and Aging, highlighting presentations from the 2004 American Geriatrics Society Annual Meeting that convened in Las Vegas, NV, on May 17-21. Attracting over 2900 health professionals and 83 exhibitors, this meeting remains a rich source of up-to-date reviews for clinicians committed to serving older adults. The quality of this year’s presentations was high, and much of the material was clinically relevant to long-term care practitioners.
We have chosen a selection of these presentations to include in this special issue. As in the past, other articles based on the May AGS meeting will appear in future issues of ALTC throughout the coming year.
I hope that you find this special issue valuable, and, as always, I look forward to receiving your suggestions for further enhancement of the value of ALTC. For those of you planning ahead, next year’s AGS Annual Meeting will be held in Orlando, FL, on May 11-15, 2005. I hope to see you there!
