WHAT MAKES eFamilyCare EXCEPTIONAL
Dr. Eric Rackow
As a physician and former President of NYU Hospital Centers, Dr. Eric Rackow observed that seniors with chronic conditions were often subjected to unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits despite the high quality of medical care they had received. He recognized the existence of a critical gap in care, the lack of appropriate coordination of care and support at home. The burden of filling this gap falls to family caregivers, who are unprepared and frequently overwhelmed by the challenges of caregiving.
