Unit Guidelines
The work of the geriatric care manager is rewarding; however, it can be stressful and cause one to feel isolated at times, especially in a small or solo practice. NAPGCM Chapters offer you opportunities to connect with professional colleagues, providing you with a venue in which you all “speak the same language,” regardless of the professional discipline from which you work.
Chapters offer excellent opportunities to meet with colleagues on a local or regional basis. In addition to sharing and learning from one another, chapters provide a variety of opportunities for educational and professional growth. Chapter membership is included in your national membership.
