GERIATRIC CARE
The Geriatric Medicine Program provides consultation and care for the elderly. Geriatricians are Internal Medicine or Family Physicians who have had an additional 1-2 years training in the medical, social, and psychological issues that concern older adults.
Why see a Geriatrician?
- They focus on the whole person, not just diagnosis and treatment, to improve the patient’s overall quality of life and level of function.
- They are experts in caring for specific health problems seen most often in older people.
- They are also sensitive to and understand how medications and dosages may be different for the older patient.
- Geriatric medicine promotes wellness and preventive care with an emphasis on care management that helps patients maintain their independence.
- They tend to have an interdisciplinary approach to medicine and work with a coordinated team of nurses, geriatric psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and other health care professionals.
