Shelton, CT (PRWEB) April 30, 2008 ? LifeCare®, Inc. (http://www.lifecare.com), provider of comprehensive specialty care services and a longtime leader in the work/life industry, announced today that it has become a corporate partner of the AGS Foundation for Health in Aging, the national non-profit organization of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), which advocates on behalf of older adults and their special health care needs. LifeCare now offers its clients access to the Foundation's considerable library of web-based health and aging resources (http://www.lifecare.com/news/successful_aging_caregiving.html). This partnership significantly enhances LifeCare's Successful Aging suite of products, which is delivered to health care plan providers, government agencies and corporate clients.

The AGS Foundation's expertly prepared materials address topics such as the aging process, healthcare decisions, and specific health and wellness issues that affect older adults including cancer, diabetes, mental/neurological/psychological conditions, and more.

"We're very proud of our partnership with the AGS Foundation, one of the nation's most respected authorities on issues of health and aging (http://lifecare.typepad.com/health_matters/)," said LifeCare medical director and former AGS Board of Directors member, Dr. Barney Spivack. "This relationship puts a wealth of valuable resources at the fingertips of LifeCare's clients and partners."

"The AGS Foundation for Health in Aging is delighted with this partnership," said Foundation Board Chair and past President of the AGS, Dr. Meghan Gerety. "The Foundation works to disseminate its information as widely as possible, and the ability to reach a wider corporate audience and expand its work in aging advocacy (http://lifecare.typepad.com/health_matters/) is very important to us."

The AGS Foundation's materials are intended to promote good health and disease prevention throughout an individual's life so that wellness, activity, and independence are maintained later in life -- goals that fit perfectly with LifeCare's Successful Aging (http://www.lifecare.com/news/successful_aging_caregiving.html) philosophy. The materials also educate older adults and their families and caregivers about how to live with multiple chronic illnesses or disabilities and access appropriate medical care and rehabilitative/support services.

LifeCare is the only work/life provider licensed to offer clients access to the Foundation's library of web-based health and aging resources.
