www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday December 28, 2007 - 47 Canadian Club hosts geriatrics specialist Dr. Michelle Gagnon, head of Geriatrics at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton, will be the dinner speaker at Canadian Club of Halton Peel's Jan. 17 meeting. To recognize January as Alzheimer's month, Gagnon will speak on the latest developments in research and treatment in the field. The meeting is at the Oakville Conference Centre at 2515 Wyecroft Rd. Gagnon will discuss how clinical practice for the geriatrician is focused on the frail elderly who often face multiple and complex health problems. After the age of 70, about one third of the elderly face cognitive problems ranging from memory loss to dementia. "At least half the people I see in hospital have dementia," said Gagnon, who is one of only 100 geriatricians in Canada. "That's a big risk for discharge. They are continually being re-admitted -- not because their disease is worse, but because they forget to take their medication." Future speakers for the Canadian Club of Halton Peel will be chef and owner of The Twisted Fork, Michael Killip, on Thursday, Feb. 7. His speech is entitled, It's the food, dude. On Thursday, March 13, Patrick Longhurst, President, Patrick Longhurst Advisory Services, 2006/2007 spokesperson for the Canada Pension and Benefits Institute, will address Canada's Retirement Income System -- Time for a Change?
