Aging is inevitable, but what does it mean to age well? Dr. Eve Glazier speaks with Meena Makhijani, DO, a geriatrician at UCLA Health, about approaching aging with dignity, purpose and individualized care. They unpack what sets geriatric medicine apart, the importance of understanding what matters most to each patient, and why aging should not be viewed solely as decline. They also discuss cognitive health, quality of life, and the growing need for compassionate, team-based senior care.
