➤ How can a student verify whether their exclusion prevents volunteering at Stonybrook University Hospital?
First, check the OIG exclusion list and read your exclusion notice for scope and dates. Then contact Stonybrook’s compliance office or HR and request written guidance about the specific volunteer role. Provide documentation and, if needed, seek legal or compliance counsel to confirm whether the registration duties would breach the exclusion.

➤ How can I plan meals to ensure dietary variety?

➤ Why is a comprehensive geriatric assessment important?
A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) evaluates medical issues, cognition, mood, nutrition, mobility, falls risk, medications, and social supports. It finds reversible problems, guides individualized care plans, and sets realistic goals like maintaining ADLs and independence. CGA lowers readmissions and improves medication safety and function.
