Great news for Geriatrics! For the second consecutive year, a geriatrician has been awarded a MacArthur “genius” grant. Last year, Dr. Diane Meier of Mount Sinai Medical Center and the Center to Advance Palliative Care won for her pioneering work in developing palliative care programs in US hospitals. This year, Dr. Mary Tinetti of Yale won for her work in understanding and preventing falls in the elderly. Congratulations! This is well deserved attention to the stars of our field; great press for geriatrics and palliative care; and for the winners $500,000 isn’t bad either…
