THE FUTURE OF YOUR OWN HEALTH AND INDEPENDENCE
By Sam L. Ervin
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

SCAN


I would like to applaud the SCAN system for recognizing a major challenge facing our rapidly growing senior population. I currently take care of an aged parent and have been amazed at the typical HMO / Medicare model for senior healthcare. Any program that seeks to keep people healthy, engaged and in their homes should be supported by everyone in the community. To date the only support I have received has been through Family Caregiver Alliance / LACRG - I will be investigating SCAN for my mother's healthcare.

Thank you for a clear and concise article! If you are looking for grass-roots advocates, please feel free to contact me via my email.
