Geriatric Interest Group

If you are in Toronto at any point between now (July 2010) and October 2010 please go see Dr. Mark Nowaczynski’s fabulous photography exhibit. In case you (gasp!) don’t know who Dr. Nowaczynski is, please google “House Calls” the film from the National Film Board of Canada (it even won a Gemini!). Wonderful film, highly recommended for everyone to see. Dr. Nowaczynski heads a non-profit program in Toronto, Ontario that allows a special health team to visit vulnerable seniors at home.

This is the official blurb as well as the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) contact:

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) presents House Calls with my Camera, a poignant series of photo essays capturing the lives of the patients of Toronto physician Dr. Mark Nowaczynski. The 36 powerful photos taken by Dr. Nowaczynski, many of which are on display for the first time, document the hidden world of his house-bound patients, revealing the startling lack of medical and supportive home care services of this vulnerable population
