Ellen had been diagnosed with vascular dementia, peripheral vascular disease, and Type 2 diabetes.

And we’ve been diagnosing it at Penn. What does geriatrics have to do to be ready to be an integral part of this process of diagnosing, prescribing, and monitoring for side effects from these drugs?

Here are some articles that Kira and I have written about the topic, and that’s really how my interest in addressing sexual health concerns started.
