Produced by the AGS Public Education Committee, Patient Education Forums (PEF) are concise and authoritative fact sheets, in Question & Answer format, designed to help you communicate more effectively with your health care providers. Each PEF highlights an important topic in geriatric health care and provides answers to commonly asked questions. All PEFs are posted to the FHA Web site and reviewed and updated by the AGS Public Education Committee on a regular basis.

All PEFs can be downloaded as a PDF. You may print and distribute these PEFs at no cost provided that the material is not altered in any way.
