Bio

Horizontal Tabs

Andrea Holzner

Through a unique combination of personal experience as a daughter of an Alzheimer’s patient, academic research, and professional expertise, I provide guidance on ethical, comprehensive methodologies for the aging ecosystem and rural aging sustainability. I assist families, healthcare providers, government agencies, and NGO’s.

By applying the knowledge I have accumulated, I assist those who want to understand the challenges faced by an aging population. I translate the needs of the aging population into actionable programs which can be enacted by government agencies or NGO’s. By working with health care providers, I help them understand what they need to know to serve their aging ecosystem with an ethical and comprehensive approach.

Aging , Alzheimer's and Dental Industry

Alzheimer's disease is significantly growing, manifesting in upwards of 20% + of our population, and increasing. Health and dental care for Alzheimer's patients demand innovative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative approaches. Understanding aging, age-related conditions as Alzheimer's, and communicating with caregivers will enhance patient care, minimize dental disease, and provide a better overall dental experience. Chronic dental inflammation correlates with Alzheimer's, and new approaches will reduce impact.

Intimacy, Sexuality, and Aging...Oh My!

This presentation is open and honest regarding changes that occur as we age with our intimacy and sexuality. I talk about the human right to closeness, even in older years. Physicality and cognitive changes may impact closeness however it is only a matter of learning new approaches to communication. We discuss breaking down barriers regarding sexuality in older years and how to maintain a healthy intimate relationship. We discuss how social viewpoints impact our needs and how to navigate our own relationships. We also approach diversity, inclusion, and health equity in managing our sexuality and health. Generational attitudes shape many of our current ideas on intimacy. This presentation shares new ideas and acceptance of intimacy, sexuality, and aging. Let us celebrate our human rights to have closeness unapologetically.

This presentation is wonderful for older adults, educational applications, health care providers, and support groups.

Geriatric Patient Care - Chiropractor

Geriatric patients comprise 30-40% of a chiropractor’s patient base. Chiropractic care for geriatric patients demands innovative, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive approaches. This course provides an understanding of the chiropractic geriatric patient, communication techniques, innovative approaches to treatment planning, adjustment, and sustainable patient care. Chiropractors are in a great position to help with disease prevention, geriatric injuries, balance, minimizing dementia or pain, and providing a better overall patient care experience. Incorporating the caregiver in long-term planning is critical for sustainable geriatric care. Chronic comorbid conditions, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease need chiropractic techniques that will reduce the impact. Chiropractors can not only provide a valuable service for geriatric patients and their loved ones but enhance their overall patient services, revenue, and presence in their community.

  • Dr. Holzner presented to our senior placement association this past fall. She put a great deal of thought and preparation into creating content that would be valuable to the group and assist us in our work. Dr. Holzner provided not only factual evidence regarding needs of older adults with dementia, but also shared personal experience that spoke to what we all face daily in our work. We look forward to having her present in the future.
