The baby boomers are finally retiring and the medical system isn't prepared to handle them. This is a huge problem which can't be fix quickly. However, schools and hospitals are moving fast to make sure they do as much as they can.
The first step is investing in new clinics and other infrastructure. UNMC has invested 10 million dollars in a geriatric center which will care exclusively for the elderly. Also, the university of Iowa College of Nursing will have a new program focus on training new students on geriatrics. These are all important steps and it shows that people with authority are aware of the issue and are taking action.
