Geriatrics ~ Aging Healthy

With Dr. Veronica Riera-Gilley & Marilena Grittani, RPh

Hello there!

This episode is one of the main focus of my podcast, and Dr. Veronica Riera-Gilley did not disappoint!

The conversation was informational, in-depth, but easy to flow and such an eye-opener for many of you.

I would love to hear your comments about it at comments@thelegaldrugdealer.com

Some of the most relevant points she made are:

  • Aging does not mean that you have to live in pain or uncomfortable, nor that you must take a lot of medications.
  • Geriatrics is a branch of medicine dedicated to the aging population, as pediatrics is to kids.
  • Pharmacists don’t want to dispense drugs, we want to dispense education and health.
  • Death is a sure thing; you might as well get prepared to make decisions that you don’t want others to make.


“We (pharmacists) are dispensing health by being educators,

about the problems that come with drug therapy,

and the alternatives to it”

Dr. Veronica Riera-Gilley, PharmD, BCGP
