Dr. Molly Ehlman joins Chris and Amy to discuss the critical shortage of geriatricians in the U.S., with only one available for every 10,000 older Americans, and the impact this has on senior care. She addresses the challenges facing the field, including the complexity of care, lower compensation, and declining interest among physicians. Dr. Ehlman also highlights the innovative 65 Prime Plus clinic model by Mercy, which provides older adults with longer appointments, smaller patient panels, and enhanced support—all without extra costs to patients.
