Hello. I am Dr. Harry Mills welcome to
my site. I began my career as a Geropsychologist at about the age of four. I lived with my parents in Tampa Florida in
a retirement area. I spent many hours sitting with and listening to stories of my elders. We would visit my birthpace in Alabama
where with 14 aunts and uncles and two sets of grandparents there was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting on the front
porch and listening to the stories in the cool of the evening. They were the 'greatest generation' and I still love to listen
to their stories of life.
I call my practice Optimums Health Solutions
(OHS). I apply Clinical Health Psychology to the stress of illness and to the developmental challenges of living through
the lifespan and provides a range of services to seniors and those serving seniors. Our philosphy
is a public health philosphy and that involves prevention of illness or at least delay of onset of symptoms which reduce the
quality of living for the aging population. Prevention means identification of risk issues and developing behavior change
programs to reduce rsk. The key to that is early diagnosis and when a disease is identified using a disease management approach
to intervention with optimum involvement of the patient in management of the illness.
