From working on the front lines in the ICU & inpatient floors, to educating colleagues about advance directives and goals of care conversations, to making phone calls to family members, our NYU Langone Health #PalliativeCare team is providing support and comfort for #COVID19 patients.

Join our Age-Friendly Air travel session NOW! We are answering questions in the chat. I suspect lots of people will soon be saying "Have vaccine, will travel" and coming to their providers for travel prep advice! #geritravel #AGS21 MedAire Julia Loewenthal, MD Megan Rau

Next up: Megan Rau! She's reviewing organ system impacts for #geritravel. Know how to prep your patients who use oxygen for #airtravel-- portable O2 concentrators can be rented or purchased (and airlines likely will have a form for you to certify use during travel). #AGS21
