The participants included Sergey Isayenko, a renowned freelance geriatric specialist from the Ministry of Health, Svetlana Kaevitser, head of the Regional Resource Center for Silver Volunteering "Academy of Silver Age," and Elbina Tserionova, chief physician at the Caucasian Central Regional Hospital.
