Prepare the staff of your nursing home, assisted living facility, or home health agency to recognize and address foot problems associated with aging and chronic diseases. With 45 years of clinical experience, Dr. Helfand teaches participants the importance of preventive foot care and early recognition of problems.

This detailed seminar will leave participants prepared to implement an overall foot health program for the older adults in their care.
