Many older adults live with chronic pain — from arthritis and back pain to nerve pain and inflammation. While pain medications can provide relief, they also carry risks, especially in seniors.

During this educational session, Dr. Patrice Powell, DNP, AGNP-C will discuss:

  • The difference between acute and chronic pain

  • Over-the-counter pain relievers (Tylenol, NSAIDs, etc.)

  • Prescription pain medications

  • Medication safety and drug interactions

  • Risks and side effects in older adults

  • Safer alternatives and non-drug options

  • When to speak with your primary care provider

This seminar is designed to empower seniors to make informed decisions about their health and medication safety.

🎁 Free raffles and giveaways will be available.

This is an educational seminar and does not replace medical advice from your healthcare provider.

We look forward to serving the Queens community.
