					  <description>Coming up in Fifth Third mainly through the commercial bank organization, I have a great deal of respect for small businesses. The business banking team at Fifth Third targets businesses that generate revenues in the $5-15 million range. This segment of the commercial customer base is critically important to the bank. </description>

					  <title>The road to system change in long-term care</title>
					  <link>http://www.michronicleonline.com/articlelive/articles/2585/1/The-road-to-system-change-in-long-term-care/Page1.html</link>
					  <description>Historically, when older adults and disabled persons in the U.S. needed care, they relied on family members who became informal caregivers. When skilled care was required, the only option was to live in a nursing facility. More options became available with public programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, but each has limited funding for long-term care. Consumers needed help to identify and apply for these benefits. </description>
