Abstract As the Age-Friendly Health System initiative moves across the US and around the world, not only do health system staff require education about the 4Ms, but older adults, caregivers, and families need education. Engaging and empowering the community about the 4Ms can improve communication, clarify and improve adherence to treatment plans, and improve patient satisfaction. Many methods for engaging the community in age-friendly care are currently in development. Initiated by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs), Community Catalyst is leading the co-design of Age-Friendly Health System materials with older adults and caregivers. Testing these materials across the country in diverse populations of older adults and caregivers will yield open-source documents for local adaptation. Rush University Medical Center is testing a method for identifying, engaging, educating, and providing health services for family caregivers of older adults. This unique program integrates with the Age-Friendly Health System efforts in addressing all 4Ms for caregivers. The Bronx Health Corps (BHC) was created by the New York University Hartford Institute of Geriatric Nursing to educate older adults in the community about health and health behaviors. BHC developed a method for engaging and educating older adults that is replicable in other communities. Baylor College of Medicine adapted and tested the Patient Priorities Care model to educate primary care providers about how to engage older adults in conversations about What Matters to them. Central to the Age-Friendly movement, John A. Hartford Foundation leadership will discuss the implications of this important work.

In the past 2 years a new national organization, called the American Association for Child Care in Hospitals, has evolved. This organization was initiated by the six "play ladies" who are in charge of the children's hospital programs in Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Montreal, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. Two years ago, the Children's Hospital Medical Center (CHMC) in Boston was host to 50 participants from these institutions to found the organization. This initial meeting was abetted by the CHMC's concern for total patient care and was made possible by the backing of the administration and the pediatric and psychiatric departments.

This report comprises concurrent studies of the urologic and psychiatric manifestations of intrapsychic conflict among a group of children who had been admitted to the surgical wards of The Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, between 1965 to 1970 for complaints of disordered urination. Experience with these children indicates that anxiety can alter the frequency and disturb the adequacy of voiding to a degree sufficient to dispose the child to urinary tract infection. This effect of anxiety can occur both in the presence or absence of a demonstrable anatomic lesion. It suggests that an assessment of the degree and nature of the child's anxiety should be an integral part of the pediatric urologic examination.
