On November 6, 2026, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) recognized all four of our health centers as Age-Friendly Health System Participants: Spectrum Community, Vaux, Reed Street, and Cottman Avenue.
This means we have shared our plan for the 4Ms of age-friendly care: What Matters, Medication, Mind, and Mobility.
Thank you to Dorcas Mensah, our Adult/Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, who led this work through her Age Smart fellowship. We are proud to keep improving care for older adults in Philadelphia.
What the 4Ms mean for you
- What Matters: care that fits your goals
- Medication: medicines that help, not get in the way
- Mind: caring for memory and mood
- Mobility: moving safely every day
