First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a special care program (GRACE) to regular annual check-ups can help older adults with multiple health issues avoid hospital stays and feel better. About 6,000 people aged 65 and older who speak English or Spanish will take part. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and improves patient and caregiver well-being.
