Making sure older adults receive a holistic, evidence-based approach to care: learning from Alosa Health.

On our August 2025 episode, we chat with Alosa Health's COO, Paul Fanikos, RPh, MPA/HA, about all things detailing, with a focus on Alosa's recent campaign to support older adults, their providers, and their caregivers in managing the challenges of dementia and Alzheimer's with care, compassion, and connection to the best evidence, resources, and community supports.

Paul shares his insights into the importance of caring for older patients with such complex needs by recognizing that their clinicians and caregivers have equally complex challenges.

Tune in for a conversation that highlights a critical detailing campaign that expertly bridges the best guidelines for care with the humanity, patience, and kindness that must be present when supporting older patients who need memory care.

​"And then what we DID notice, most importantly, were the caregiver resources for patients and also aligning them to local resources that are inexpensive or low cost. And that was something that was incredibly valuable to prescribers and their offices and others, and obviously families. It's a tough disease. It progresses. And to do that in a way that's with dignity for older adults."
-Paul Fanikos, COO, Alosa Health
