Just Released: Women, We're Only Old Once (Cooper)

 

We just released an incomparable and comprehensive book on growing old with grace and smarts. With over ten years of growing into an old woman with the help of her friends, Bertha Cooper knows whereof she writes. In this book you will learn that growing old is not the slow death of our personalities, our bodies, or our relevance to the world. Someday, it will happen, but not yet! Feel the wisdom below the years we've lived and the power that comes with making our own choices about our aging selves. Women, We're Only Old Once offers explanations for natural changes that occur while aging and transitions we must make as we age. Women can be relieved to learn that having less endurance or word-finding problems are not signs of disease. Women are empowered to put their energy and spirit where it counts on their journey in this important phase of life.

More information about the book can be found HERE. 

Bertha was born and raised in Seattle WA long before Microsoft and Amazon.  She earned a BSN degree in nursing (University of WA) and entered the profession the same year as Medicare, a coincidence destined to define her career in non-traditional ways.  She began her career in public health and was moved into a management position early in her career which proved to be the beginning of a long career in management and administration in an expanding array of health care delivery innovations.  She served in public health, home health, long-term care, hospice and acute care.  Every one of those positions involved quality, safety and effective health care for the elderly.  She became a reasonable voice and passionate advocate for patient-centered services across the continuum of care.

Bertha Cooper is also author of the pandemic series book, Old and On Hold. Read more about this book HERE.
