Description
Join us for a quarterly educational event series for patients, caregivers and providers where we’ll cover the 4Ms of cancer care for older adults. As a part of our Age-Friendly Health System designation from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, the 4Ms provide a strong framework for care, including:
Mobility, Mind, Medications and Matters Most.
On June 11th join us for a special presentation by Levine Cancer’s Board-Certified Music Therapists on Music, Mood, & Memory. This interactive session will explore how music can be a powerful tool for memory recall and emotional well-being. Attendees will learn simple, evidence-based techniques to use music for short- and long-term memory recall, reduce stress, and improve mood during treatment and recovery. No musical experience is needed—just a willingness to listen and reflect.
During each event, we’ll cover:
• Practical steps and tips to accomplish the 4Ms in day-to-day care
• Overcoming lifestyle and/or care challenges
• Empowering patients and caregivers to maximize care and well-being
