Additionally, we believe that patients over the age of 60 are healthier and have more active life-styles than they did twenty or thirty years ago. Patients who are 60 years of age today are as active as those 40 years of age; those 70 years of age are as active as people 50 years of age, and finally those 80 years of age are as active as those 60 years of age.
This is the major underlying factor of our aggressive care model. Hence, our motto is 60 is the new 40, 70 the new 50, 80 the new 60. This high level of activity exposes them to high risk of traumatic injury and thus the need for our G 60 trauma program.
