  13. Senior Physician Ambassador Program Develop networks of senior physician volunteers to serve as community health advocates. Encourage senior physician leadership development at the local level, to address issues of importance to seniors to combat chronic illness. Help identify speakers who would like to become involved in giving talks. Encourage senior physicians to expand their roles locally in their community beyond their role as clinicians.
