DEAR SENIORS, PROFESSIONALS, AND FRIENDS OF THE SENIORS BLUE BOOK:

Every resource is called and verified, and licensing is confirmed where appropriate. Rest assured we have worked hard to bring you the most comprehensive guide of resources available to seniors, their caregivers and the professionals that serve them. When reaching out to resources this year, please know some are open and some aren’t or are but on a limited basis.

Familiarize yourself with the guide and know we are here to help you age well, no matter what that looks like for you. Our

the phrase, “This is the new normal”. Social media platforms were flooded with posts agreeing or disagreeing with the assessment.

As a professional caregiver I realized that the COVID 19 pandemic was introducing the world to the reality, the “new normal” of being a family caregiver. But what does “new normal” mean? From what I have observed during the pandemic the “New Normal” is simply change. It is the change from what was to the new reality of what is. The New Normal means loss, not being able to go back to the way things were. The New Normal is highly emotional with anger at not being able to do activities without restrictions and confusion on how to re-establish a meaningful routine. There is disappointment because others don’t seem to understand how serious the situation really is and anxiety because no one is able to tell us exactly what is going on or when all the craziness will come to an end. But most of all there is the frustration of having our life turned upside by chaos and confusion. Family Caregivers in our communities have been experiencing all of these “new normal” frustrations long before the pandemic even hit. Their journey began when they committed to helping a family member struggling with self-care because of the progression of a

chronic illness or dementia. Every family caregiver has experienced their life being turned upside down by the chaos and confusion of caring for a family member. For many of us, the pandemic has created exhausting physical and emotional challenges we are still trying to figure out. And we want it to be over. So do our family caregivers. They are physically and emotionally exhausted. They want it to be over too. But please remember the next time you meet a family caregiver-they have been dealing with all the challenges of the “new normal” long before you. Have a talk with them. They may have some wisdom and insights to share with you that will help you cope with your “new normal”.~

Good Oral Health Helps Keep Your Immune System Strong Fighting off infections, germs and diseases like COVID-19 is the During Coronavirus job of your immune system. Keeping your immune system strong is one of the main goals of food health and fitness.

Your mouth is the gateway into the body and provides a point of entry for bacteria and germs to enter your respiratory system and blood stream. Therefore, maintain good oral health can help keep your immune system healthy and working properly, which is important during a global pandemic. Bacteria in your mouth can cause gum disease. That bacteria feed and grows on food debris that accumulates in and around the edges of your gums and between your teeth The early form of gum disease is called gingivitis and is easily reversed by removing the bacteria film, called plaque, with a toothbrush, floss and a professional cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. If your gums bleed when your brush or ear hard foods, you probably have gingivitis. The bleeding is caused by inflammation-redness and swelling- of the gums. More severe gum disease, called periodontitis, can only be treated

28 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

by a dentist or dental hygienist. With periodontitis, the inflammation caused by the bacteria attacks not only the gums, but also the underlying bone that holds the teeth in place. The job of your immune

system is to attack the bacteria that invades your body. Inflammation caused by the bacteria is the signal for your immune system to go into action. In healthy people, mild infections go unnoticed because the immune system does its job of getting rid of the bad bacteria. However, when a person is not healthy, the immune system cannot keep up and disease takes over. ~ Editorâ€™s Note: This article was written by Dr Donald Couchman, with Couchman Center for Complete Dentistry.

Dental Savings Plans Help Seniors Get the Dental Care Older adults are one of the fastest growing segments of the AmerThey Need at An ican population and in many Affordable Price cases they do not have insurance to cover the dental care needed. In the US, only two percent of retirees have dental coverage through a prior employer, and medicare does not cover routine dental care without a costly supplemental plan. Seniors who have dental health issues hope that by purchasing an insurance plan they will be able to get care they have been delaying. Unfortunately, in many cases, traditional dental insurance does not cover preexisting conditions, nor pay to replace teeth that were lost prior to purchasing insurance. A newer type of plan called a Dental Savings Plan has arisen to help all patients, but especially seniors, who need top quality dental care at an affordable price. Dental savings plans are a progressive alternative to dental insurance plans. They offer patients discounts off of dental services and in some cases free routine care for a low

30 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

monthly or yearly fee. In most cases the discounts for most dental care can range from 10-30%. There are a few different types of plans, some that are administered by an outside organization and others that are developed by individual dentists. With this type of plan there is no paperwork, claims to file or waiting period as you pay the dentist the discounted rate directly and there are no preexisting conditions or limits on care so you can get exactly what you need at a much more affordable price. Many people are finding that a dental savings plan is more affordable and provides the ability to stay with their current dentist. Next time you’re at the dentist, ask if they offer a plan like this for you! ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Dr Fred Guerra, a dentist with Guerra Dental and may be reached at 719-259-7043.

Consider a Discount Dental Plan Everyone wants to sell you dental for Savings insurance; but a discount plan can save you hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars each year.

When shopping for Dental Coverage make sure you are asking at least four questions. What are my annual premium costs? What are my

maximum benefit pay outs? What is the waiting period before I can use those benefits? And does this plan cover specialty procedures? Traditional Dental Insurance typically have low annual limits on benefits; averaging around $1200 per year. Basic insurance plans with a $1000 maximum benefit can cost $478 per year and a slightly better plan with a $1350 maximum benefit can cost you upwards of $664 per year. Are your exams and cleanings really “free” when you are paying those types of premiums? And on top of that you may have to wait 12 32 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

or even up to 24 months to be eligible for those benefits to be paid out. With a Discount Dental Plan the annual fees are very affordable ($107.40/yr), there are no maximum benefits, there are no waiting periods, and specialty services are

covered. Also you qualify for a tax deduction on your dental care costs. Only 30% of seniors have any type of dental coverage. Should you buy dental insurance? Probably not; instead consider what you spent on dental care last year, and find a quality discount dental plan so you can compare those costs; and start saving today. ~ Editor’s Note: TThis article was submitted by Chris Sisco, with American Dental Group and may be reached at 719-633-3000 or by email at chris. sisco@americandentalgroup.org.

Common Estate Planning Here are the top ten estate planMistakes ning mistakes that I continue to see. Hopefully this will help you avoid the same mistakes. One: Not realizing there are multiple ways to jointly own real estate and not all of them transfer the property to the surviving owner without probate. Two: Adding a co-owner to a bank account not realizing that adding a joint owner to a bank account is a gift of the entire amount of money in that account. Three: Adding one child as a co-owner or beneficiary on an account with the understanding that after the parents’ death the child will then distribute the money between his or her siblings. While this does sometimes work, the child is under absolutely no legal duty to split the money. Even if he or she promised, since promises are not enforceable by law. Four: Not realizing that solo ownership of a home will typically require probate to transfer it to someone else when the owner dies. Five: Powers of Attorney expire at the death of the principal (the person who signed it). Six: Thinking that having a will avoids probate. It does not. In fact,

34 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

a will is the instruction manual for probate. Seven: Not setting up any plan at all, waiting for life to stop changing before making a plan. Heads up, it never does…or if it does stop it’s too late. Eight: Trying to design an estate plan that works perfectly in every possible scenario quickly leads to being overwhelmed which in turn leads to not moving ahead with a plan at all. Perfection can the enemy of progress. Nine: Not realizing that a trust won’t avoid probate if you don’t rename your assets from your name to the trust’s name. I have done a number of probates for only one asset that was somehow missed and was not in the trust. Ten: Waiting too long to start planning. After one spouse is incapacitated the planning options are more limited than there were when both spouses were fine. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Ryan N.

Caregiving & Compassionate Conversations You may be a spouse, a neighbor, or a sibling. If you are reading this, you may also be a Caregiver. As someone faced with the challenges of caregiving, you might one day also be faced with tough conversations with those you are caring for. You may be noticing that a loved one is not eating well, failing to take medications or a change in how the home is kept. You may also see cognitive changes such as dementia causing concern. If there comes a time that an individual’s care will grow beyond what you yourself are capable of doing, this is the time to reach out and educate yourself on options available; from help at home with household

chores, additional medical care or possibly assisted living options. Change can be a scary proposition, and having a compassionate ear will go a long way towards ensuring your senior has the time and information to make safe and appropriate decisions about their future.

Direct Anterior Hip Replacement: A Better Approach to In 2020 there are several approaches to hip replacement. Hip Replacement Some surgeons approach the hip from the back (posterior of the hip while others approach it from the side (lateral) or the front (anterior). While all approaches to hip replacement have good outcomes there are some distinct advantages to a direct anterior approach. 1) No muscles are cut The surgeon can get to the joint without cutting through muscles which leads to less pain after surgery and a quicker recovery. There is also less chance of long term limping because the muscles are preserved,

3) Leg length differences are minimized In the anterior approach, the patient is lying on their back enabling the surgeon to x-ray both hips. This allows your surgeon to reproduce equal leg lengths and position of the hip precisely. 4) Anterior replacement is more complex with fewer skilled surgeons There is a distinct learning curve. It is important that your provider is not only a good orthopedic surgeon, but more imperative, that your surgeon is an expert at anterior hip replacement. You should ask how many he/she does the surgery per year, and for how long he/she has been doing the surgery. Because of the many benefits of the anterior approach it is the right surgery for most but not all patients. Be sure to ask your surgeon the best option for you. ~

2) Recovery is faster and there are fewer post-operative restrictions Because no muscles are cut, return to doing the things that you want to do is quicker. Patients who have an anterior hip replacement are able to return to activities much quicker than those with a posterior Editorâ€™s Note: This article was submitprocedure. ted by Jason Weisstein, MD.

ask yourself.

Primary Care Providers (PCPs) connect the dots between your lifestyle, health and goals to keep you at the center of diagnoses and treatments. Ask yourself these questions to tell if your primary care measures up. 1. Is Your PCP Personal? A great PCP understands your medical history, personal history and health goals. They regularly check in between appointments. They respect you and your decisions. 2. Does Your PCP Listen? Many doctors only give you an average of 11 seconds to speak before interrupting.1 Yet public opinion research2 found that listening and taking time to answer questions outranked current medical knowledge as an important characteristic of a good doctor. 3. D oes Your PCP Give You Quality and Quantity Time? Many PCPs focus on minimizing wait times. They manage smaller caseloads so they can dedicate more time to individual patients and truly get to know them and their health concerns. 4. I s Your PCP Focused on Your Needs? Look for facilities with facilities with lower exam chairs, wider hallways and doorways, non-slip floors or handrails, which allow for easier mobility and increased independence.

5. Is Your PCP Tech Friendly? You as the patient should be at the center of the PCP’s telehealth technology not the other way around. It should be easy to use and intuitive. 6. D oes it offer additional services? A great PCP will offer additional services like onsite lab work or coordinated care with a health coach and/or behavioral health specialist to make maintaining your health easier. It’s time you got the kind of primary care you deserve. Humana is a Medicare Advantage HMO, PPO, and PFFS organization, and stand-alone prescription drug plan, with a Medicare contract.

How are You Going to Meet Charlie. His brother James Pay for “That”? has Alzheimer’s and needed a memory care facility. They are very close and when it comes to James’ care, the prospect of compromising care because of James’ limited income was not an option.

Funds to pay for the care James needed was a real concern solved by getting information on programs that would assist with the costs of care. Sigh of relief…. This family will no longer have to worry about how they are going to pay for James’ Care. It is estimated that over 70% of people over 65 will need some type of Long-Term Care (LTC) according to the US Department of Health & Human Services. Colorado has many resources for financial help like Health First Colorado, and Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension that will help pay for in home care, assisted living, adult day care and nursing facility care. Most Colorado elderly who need help paying for LTC feel that they will not qualify for these programs because they have too much income or too many assets. Many families are told this by people they feel should be “in the know” on this topic. There are a lot of myths out there, online and relayed from health professionals. In reality, many could qualify if they had accurate information from a knowledgeable professional, holding a VA Accreditation or a Certified Medicaid

Planner (CMP) designation. With uncertain care costs it is valuable to have one person or firm who understands multiple programs for assistance to ensure that all options are considered for the outcome a family desires. Gaining access to programs that assist in paying for long term care costs will greatly reduce the erosion of hard-earned cash and other valuable assets like family property. Incomplete or inaccurate information often causes people to think they must “spend down” or sell things they own to avoid “losing it”. This simply is not true and can lead to an unnecessary liquidation of the assets people have worked a lifetime to obtain. There are legitimate means of preserving valuable or sentimental assets and income. Here in Colorado, to the surprise of many, following guidelines carefully afford numerous opportunities to protect income and assets. Consulting with a CMP who specializes in LTC financial solutions can help you and your family to file a successful application and qualify for the program that has the best financial outcome for your family. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Stacy Osborne, MBA CMP with Beneficent.

Not All Medicare HMOs Are Have you considered managed care Created Equally versus integrated care? What is the

difference? Do I have what I need?

When it comes to choosing the best Medicare plans for yourself or a loved one HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization) are often a viable choice due to affordability, predictability, and financial safety. All HMOs operate based on the concept of managed care… but not all have integrated care. It is important to be aware of the difference. Let’s start with managed care. This is when health insurance organizations contract with select providers, pharmacies, and hospitals in their service area to create a network that allows for better control of costs. As a result of this arrangement, members agree to seek non-emergency/non-urgent care with network providers in exchange for lower costs of care. The primary advantage of the managed care aspect associated with HMOs is the focus on the cost of care which benefits the member and the health plan. Integrated care, however, is when the health plan and providers work together, in close coordination and collaboration, they have a shared focus on the patient experience, quality of care in and cost of care. The additional focus on patient

60 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

experience and quality of care is often associated with ease of access or robust IT tools resulting in easier communication across the care continuum. STAR ratings are solid indicators regarding performance for quality of care for health plans. When it comes to IT, you’ll want to ask what electronic communications options exist with the health plan you are considering. If available, they may allow for better communication to patients and providers, as well as between providers. There is so much more to learn about with respect to integrated care… be sure to ask your potential health plan what tools or resources are available that promote integrated care. Some health plans with impress and overwhelm you… and some may not be able to give you a straight answer. Think of it this way: all integrated care HMOs have managed care, but not all managed care HMOs have integrated care. Be sure to ask the right questions so you can make the right decision. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Matt Engstrom, MBA.

REHABILITATION HOSPITALS Rehabilitation Hospitals, sometimes referred to as Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospitals, provide intensive rehab to patients who are generally medically stable but need help to recover from injury or other medical conditions. They can be found within a hospital or in a free-standing building. Rehabilitation hospitals were created to provide services less costly on a per diem basis than general hospitals but provide a high level of professional therapies such as physical, occupational and speech therapies. Rehabilitation Hospitals must offer a minimum number of physician visits, increased daily rehab hours (3 hours/day, 5 days/week of PT, OT, and/or Speech), and interdisciplinary services including increased RN oversight and nursing hours per day.

Your Retirement Nest Egg – A Carton Many people refer to their retireFull of Options ment savings as a “nest egg,” but

in theory, it should be made up of many sources of retirement income – many eggs.

Even if Social Security and a company retirement plan were their only retirement savings sources, likely they haven’t thought about their withdrawal strategy. It’s not as simple as just drawing down retirement income from one or two sources without a plan. Have the following been considered? n

n n

Taxable vs. Tax-Free income How much of their money is available to spend in retirement? Will money need to be put aside to pay taxes? Are there other income streams? Would investment advice produce better returns, even in retirement? Is there a withdrawal strategy that will be better for me than liquidating only from one or two sources?

When considering these, having only one or two eggs doesn’t seem like enough. As Americans, we have many options to save for retirement: n n

ax-Sheltered retirement plans T Tax-Free retirement plans

70 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

n n

Employer or Government employer-funded pension plans Company profit sharing retirement plans Insurance Products: Fixedindexed annuities, Whole Life Insurance Certificates of Deposit Social Security

All these types of retirement savings options have different rules on taxation and when they can withdraw without penalty. Delaying Social Security, while taking withdrawals from other taxable retirement income sources, can greatly impact income. For this reason, a retirement portfolio must be adjusted and monitored, and a plan developed for withdrawing from each income source, and its taxation consequences. These make financial planning throughout retirement even more critical. If you have multiple or only a few retirement ‘nest eggs,’ now is an excellent time to discuss how taxes will impact you this year or in the future. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Darian Andreson, of Senior Tax Advisory Group and may be reached at 719-596-4844 or by email at Info@ SpringsTax.com.

When COVID hit, our creativity, capacity and caliber were challenged and created an opportunity for growth. We have tapped our resources and have stretched our boundaries to allow for the new channels needed to continue to connect and support our older adult community. Staying physically distanced is important and so is remaining socially engaged and mentally strong. We CAN do this together and we ARE going to be okay. While we all adjust to the new normal, it is imperative to remain flexible; we are all going to have to give each other a little more grace as each of us is coping the best we know how. We are here and we would love to engage with you! We are offering Zoom classes every week. New to Zoom? Would you like some assistance getting started? We can help you with that!

Lower Back Pain’s Missing Piece: Four out of five people will suffer Sacroiliac Joint from back pain in their lifetime. For Dysfunction many it’s debilitating and impacts their quality of life. Their pain can go on for years without relief.

One common cause of low back pain originates from the sacroiliac or SI joint. The SI joint is located in the pelvis and links the iliac bone (pelvis) to the sacrum (lowest part of the spine above the tailbone). This joint transfers weight and forces between your upper body and legs. It is an essential component for shock absorption to prevent impact forces during walking from reaching the spine. Sacroiliac joint disorders are commonly misdiagnosed in patients with low back pain due to the similarity of symptoms with other spinal conditions such as a herniated disc or sciatica. Pain generated from SI joint disorders occurs in varying degrees on one or both sides of the low back. The pain can also be felt in the groin, hip, thigh, buttocks, and down the back of the leg. Certain movements or positions can provoke pain in the SI joint. Many people experience pain when sitting and will shift their weight to the opposite side. Moving from a seated position to standing, twisting, climbing stairs, crossing legs, rolling over in bed, getting in/out of the car,

86 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

and lifting may also cause pain. SI joint disorders affect both males and females, although they are more common in women. Many women experience low back pain during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, added weight, and compensatory changes in walking patterns. Postpartum the SI joints usually revert to their normal, stabilized position. For 20% of women, full tightening does not occur and they develop varying degrees of chronic low back pain. Pain in the sacroiliac joints can also be caused by age related degenerative changes, trauma, previous lumbar fusion, degenerative sacroiliitis, or other conditions such as Ankylosing Spondylitis. Most people respond to conservative treatments including physical therapy, SI joint injections, chiropractic manipulations, or radiofrequency ablations. If conservative therapy fails to provide lasting relief, your doctor may consider surgical options including minimally-invasive SI joint fusion. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was written by Dr. Paul Stanton, DO., with Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group – CSOG.

HEALTH AT HOME - NON MEDICAL HOME CARE

What Inspired Kathy Miller to Start Gentle Shepherd My Grandmother, Meemaw was my mentor, my guide and my lifeline Home Care? throughout my life. She was my North Star! She and my Grandfather Papa spent a great deal of time with my brothers and I and raised us throughout our childhoods. My Meemaw was smart, incredibly strong and my hero. I owe every success I have had in life to my Grandparents and they were my greatest inspiration. I was very fortunate to have my Meemaw live until she was 98 years old. She was very healthy and extremely independent until the last two years of her life when she was in and out of the hospital mainly due to old age. It was at that time that my brother and I had to start thinking about home care for her as we wanted her to age in place. We like most families knew nothing about the “world of home care or home health” and it came as an immediate shock trying to navigate. We were fortunate and were able to safely find her the quality care she needed and that allowed her to stay in her home. It was a very difficult time for my family. At that point I started thinking seriously about helping other families like mine with such difficult decisions with their loved ones. Prior to starting Gentle Shepherd, I had been an Executive in a Fortune 500 company running a large Region in the U.S. I was growing tired of Corporate America and

98 COLORADO SPRINGS - FALL 2020-2021

wanted to move from success to significance. As time marched on my parents were in their 80’s as was my Mother-In-Law. They all had various health issues and some dementia. We found ourselves once again being that family with aging parents who needed more care than we could provide. So, four and a half years ago my husband Scott and I made the decision to leave behind Corporate America and started Gentle Shepherd Home Care.

Compassionate Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Hi, I’m Kathy Miller, founder of Gentle Shepherd Home Care. My husband and I founded the company as a result of having to find care for my 97-year-old Grandmother “MeeMaw”. She needed a great deal of care and assistance to remain in her own home. Adding to the difficulty MeeMaw lived in Dallas, miles away from us in Colorado. Flying to Dallas to take care of MeeMaw just became impossible. Thus the daunting task of finding qualified caregivers began, and Gentle Shepherd was born. I know how important the care of your MeeMaw is. I meet all our clients personally, recruit only the best caregivers and ensure everyone is treated the way MeeMaw deserved. Call me today.

What is CarePatrol?

TESTIMONIAL I would like to say that a loved one moving into assisted living is a hard decision; made harder when decisions have to be made quickly. Where do you start looking; there are hundreds of assisted care facilities to choose from. Laura at CarePatrol was amazing! She compiled notes for places that met our criteria and presented what she felt would meet our Motherâ€™s needs and care level. She set up virtual tours; due to Covid we were not able to physically tour the facilities. We selected two facilities and Laura set up in person meetings with directors in order to interview them and know that our Motherâ€™s needs would be met. We were able to transition our Mother into the facility that suited her the best. What would have taken us several emotional weeks maybe months to do on our own was handled within a weeks time and extremely professional. Client of CarePatrol of Colorado Springs & Pueblo, 2020

The Black And White Of Assisted Living Why in the World would you EVER put your parents in an Assisted Living? Really! I mean really... really...! It’s not like on your birth certificate in the small print next to your itty bitty foot prints it states “When Mom and Dad get old and they can’t take care of themselves it’s time to stick them away.”

No not at all. But with the way life throws curveballs at us, sometimes the evitable really sucks! Surely we can keep Mom and Dad at home with extra help... right? “Who can afford that?”

I’m sure they will be safe? They will be fine navigating through a dark house in the middle of the night to use the restroom by themselves... right? “One fall and that could be it.”

If Mom mixes up her night time and morning time meds a couple of times that can’t hurt her. “Sleep aids in the morning can’t be all that bad... right?”

DON’T LEAVE THE MVPS OF OUR FAMILIES’ SAFETY AND HAPPINESS UP FOR GRABS. If you need us we are here. If you want real help from real people call us at CRESTVIEW ASSISTED LIVING. THE ONLY “ONE RATE” AND “ONE LEVEL OF CARE” COMPANY THAT YOU WILL EVER NEED TO KNOW.

RESOURCES FOR AGING WELL

distancing, mask wearing and practicing good hand hygiene. Select the mask that works best for you and the circumstances and stay safe! Types of masks for COVID-19 protection: Homemade Cotton Face Masks – This kind of mask offers a very low level of protection, but it helps remind you not to touch your face. As a reusable option, it is important to keep it clean and regularly wash your face mask in a 140–194 °F hot machine wash with laundry detergent. N95 Respirator Mask – N95 respirators are designed to create a tight seal around the nose and mouth. When worn correctly, they can block over 95% of small airborne particles. Some even have as much as a 99% bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE). Respirators are the best at protecting both the wearer and the people around them. N95s are made of layers of polypropylene fibers, which is what makes them so effective. The N95 is regulated by the CDC and NIOSH unless it is marketed for medical use, at which point the FDA will approve them as well. KN95 Mask – KN95 particulate masks are also rated to filter 95%

of particles and are regulated by the Chinese government. The FDA also issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) authorizing the use of KN95s as a valid alternative to NIOSH approved masks. Another difference between KN95s and N95s is that the KN95s often use ear loops rather than an over the top of the head and behind the neck two strap configuration like the N95.

How to Decide which Face Mask to Use During the Coronavirus The best way to protect ourselves and our loved ones is through social Pandemic

3-Ply Disposable Masks – 3-ply disposable masks are fluid resistant and provide the wearer protection against large droplets, splashes, or sprays of bodily or other hazardous fluids. They also protect others from the wearer’s respiratory emissions. They are more loose fitting than either N95 or KN95s, so provide a less reliable level of protection from inhaling smaller airborne particles. When marketed for use in healthcare scenarios, as a surgical or medical 3-ply mask, they are regulated by the FDA and therefore provide better protection than a homemade mask. ~ Editor’s Note: This article was submitted by Chris Myers, Partner at Community Attire.
