There is a growing need within the primary healthcare setting regarding necessary proactive treatment of productive aging and health literacy strategies amongst the aging population. Elderly individuals diagnosed with many chronic health conditions, or multimorbidity, are at risk for decreased health and well-being, poor quality of life, and decreased ability to age in place. Help Older Adults Live Their Healthiest Life (HEALTH) is a holistic continuing education unit (CEU) educational program with the goal of educating occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) on productive aging and health literacy topics to implement within the primary care setting. Implementation of HEALTH within the primary care setting will promote improved quality of life and improved health outcomes amongst elderly individuals.
