Know Your Medicines
Order Form

The ElderCare brochures are written for the purpose of addressing issues such as "Why do I have to take these medicines?" and "How do I take these medicines?" with the elderly patient and their caregiver.

Dr. Lamy originally developed the ElderCare brochure series under sponsorship from Parke-Davis Company. In continuing the work of Dr. Lamy, The Center was recently awarded additional funds by Parke-Davis to update and revise the entire series. The new brochures cover such topics as choosing a pharmacy and pharmacist, aging and how it affects medications, home safety issues, and the very popular pocket-size medication record. You may order brochures or inquire about customizing brochures to meet your organization's needs by contacting The Lamy Center. We also plan to make these brochures available through this website by year's end.

Special thanks go to the many individuals who contributed to this new series including: Madeline Feinberg, Nicole Brandt of The Lamy Center, and Laura Stacey and Eric Brosch of the University of Maryland Office of Creative Services; Kathy Cordes contributed the artwork. Mike Frost and Toni Ushkowitz of Parke-Davis secured the funds and coordinated the company's internal review process.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the brochures, please print and fill out our Order Form and mail to the address listed. If you have any questions about the brochures, feel free to contact us. Or for further information on the brochures offered by the Lamy Center, contact Dr. Nicole Brandt and Kenya Crawford at The Peter Lamy Center at (410) 706-2434.
