'3in4 Need More' Long Term Care Planning Campaign

"3in4 Need More" is a national awareness campaign that is educating Americans on the need for a long term care plan.

As the summer cools down, many political campaigns are heating up and one of the hottest topics is the growing need for long term care planning and education.

Over 70 percent of baby boomers will need long term care services at some point in their lives. This powerful statistic has inspired the creation of the 3in4 Need More campaign.

3in4 Need More is a national awareness campaign that is touring the country and educating Americans on the need for a long term care plan. The tour is lead by Dr. Marion Sommers, a geriatric specialist who is recognized as one of the nation’s leading elder care educator.
