Advocate for Minimized Overmedication of Seniors in New Brunswick Long-Term Care


Advocate for Minimized Overmedication of Seniors in New Brunswick Long-Term Care
The Issue
7.8 million seniors in New Brunswick. 60% of them are overmedicated. That’s 4.8 million seniors at risk of dangerous side effects from unnecessary medication.
This is a public health crisis that demands immediate action.
Join me in advocating for:
- Geriatric pharmacology education for healthcare professionals so our seniors get the safe, informed care they deserve
- Regular medication reviews for seniors to stop overmedication before it harms lives
- Access to deprescribing tools and resources to take back control from unnecessary medications
Together, we can stand up for our seniors, protect their health, and fight for the care they deserve!
