Age-Friendly Health Systems are grounded in the 4Ms Framework—four key elements proven to enhance healthcare for adults 65 and older:

What Matters: We start with your values. Whether it’s gardening, spending time with grandchildren, or staying active in the community, we ask about the activities you love—and tailor your care to support them.
Medication: Our care teams ensure any medications you take are age-appropriate and don’t interfere with your lifestyle, memory, or mobility.
Mentation: We screen for and manage conditions like depression, dementia, and delirium to protect your cognitive health.
Mobility: We help you stay safely on the move—because independence and function are vital to quality of life.

This approach is embedded into every touchpoint of care—from routine checkups to hospital stays—ensuring each patient feels seen, heard, and supported.

In addition to standard health screenings, your provider may ask:

“What’s something you enjoy doing?”
“Is there anything about your health you’d like to focus on so you can keep doing that?”

These questions help us align care with your life goals—because at MCH, we’re not just treating conditions; we’re helping you live the life you love.
