PITTSFIELD — To Maura Brennan, the country’s “silver tsunami” is a good thing. As a geriatrician at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Brennan works with the elderly on a daily basis. In Brennan’s personal life, her elderly mother lived long enough to celebrate at her daughter’s wedding. “She still had an enormous amount to contribute at that time,” Brennan said. “That’s a success, that we have increasing numbers of people, frequently in good health, surviving to advanced ages.” The question, Brennan says, is how to care for the growing number of older Americans. While the U.S. elderly population is expected to swell by tens of millions in the next few decades, projections show that the number of geriatricians will increase only modestly, creating a massive deficit in high-quality elder care.
