Geriatric Health Care in the Texas Panhandle
Introduction
The Panhandle Geriatric Resource Guide was a project of the South,
West, and Panhandle Consortium of Geriatric Education Center of
Texas or (SWAP-C-GEC).
The Panhandle GEC, which is a partner within the Consortium has
been in existence since the early 1980s, managed by the Harrington
Regional Medical Center and its partners. The Partners have
included such entities as Amarillo College, Texas Tech University
Health Sciences Center School of Medicine at Amarillo(TTUHSC),
the Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center, and West Texas A&M
University.
Geriatric Education Centers are funded by the federal Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the auspices
of the Bureau of Health Professions. GECs educate and train
healthcare professionals including health sciences faculty,
students, and practitioners in the diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of disease, disability, and other health problems of the
aged.
The Panhandle GEC was funded from 2007- 2010 and this will be
the final revised version of the guide. We hope that you find the
information organized and useful. It will also be available online
as an archive on the new 2010-2015 Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center Geriatric Education Center webpage at
http://www.ttuhsc.edu/amarillo/som/im/gereduc.aspx.
In early 2010, with the guidance of the Principle Investigator, Dr.
Michelle Saunders of UT San Antonio Health Sciences Center, Texas
Tech University Health Sciences Center submitted a proposal for its
own GEC. In July 2010, TTUHSC was awarded its own GEC.
Thank you to all those involved in this project and thanks to all
of you who participated in GEC activities . We hope to serve the
community for years to come.
This project was made possible through a federal award from the Department of Health
and Human Services, HRSA, BHPr, and DPHS. SWAP-C-GEC.

FIGURE A FIGURE B www.nhibi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Cad/CAD_WhatIs.html
From the US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH, and National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute at
www.nhibi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Cad/CAD_WhatIs.html
What Is Coronary Artery Disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease, is a condition in which plaque
(plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply your heart muscle with oxygenrich blood. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol (ko-LES-ter-ol), calcium, and other substances
found in the blood. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis
(ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis).
Atherosclerosis
Figure A shows a normal artery with normal blood flow. Figure B shows an artery with plaque
buildup. Plaque narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to your heart muscle. It also makes
it more likely that blood clots will form in your arteries. Blood clots can partially or completely
block blood flow. February 2009

EYE CARE
Cataract Defined
What is a cataract?
A cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that affects vision. Most cataracts are related to
aging. Cataracts are very common in older people. By age 80, more than half of all
Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. A cataract can occur in either
or both eyes. It cannot spread from one eye to the other.
What is the lens?
The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The
retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.
In a normal eye, light passes through the transparent lens to the retina. Once it reaches the
retina, light is changed into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. The lens must be clear
for the retina to receive a sharp image. If the lens is cloudy from a cataract, the image you
see will be blurred.

FAQ CORNER
Are there other types of cataract?
Yes. Although most cataracts are related to aging, there are other types of cataract:
• Secondary cataract: Cataracts can form after surgery for other eye problems, such as
glaucoma. Cataracts also can develop in people who have other health problems, such as
diabetes. Cataracts are sometimes linked to steroid use.
• Traumatic cataract: Cataracts can develop after an eye injury, sometimes years later.
• Congenital cataract: Some babies are born with cataracts or develop them in childhood, often
in both eyes. These cataracts may be so small that they do not affect vision. If they do, the lenses
may need to be removed.
• Radiation cataract. Cataracts can develop after exposure to some types of radiation.
