With retirement quickly approach-
ing, several say they want to make
sure that the younger generation is
ready to take over and isn't left with
similar financial and health cover-
age worries when their time for
retirement comes.
"I certainly hope that the
Millennial Generation is up for the
challenge of the work that is
ahead," says Kris Sabo, executive
director and administrator of Pend
Oreille Surgery Center in Ponderay,
Idaho. "It will be tough to top the
Baby Boomers for work ethic."
"We should start thinking of our
young as they're coming up so
they're not in the same boat," says
Carol Cappella, RN, MSN, CNOR,
clinical director of Delray Beach
Surgery Center in Delray Beach,
Fla. "With age comes wisdom." OSM

"We were women
who came out of an
age where you could
be a nurse, a teacher
or a secretary. Many
came from union-
working parents who
had no clue about sav-
ing for retirement. You
never really thought of
this stuff. As we're get-
ting smarter and
smarter, we should
start thinking of our
young as they're com-
ing up, so they're not
in the same boat
when it comes to
retirement. With age
comes wisdom."
