Geriatric Care
Geriatricians specialize in the health needs of older people.
More than half of us are likely to live with 3 or more medical problems after age 65, according to Health in Aging. As you age, you may also face mobility challenges – difficulty walking or getting around.
The good news is, if you’re over 65 you are in good company. In 2019, 54.1 million US adults were 65 or older. That’s more than 1 in 7 Americans, according to the CDC. And more than 1 in 4 of those older adults are members of a racial or ethnic minority group.
We provide geriatric care for your whole self. That includes regular checkups. But it means we may also refer you to our health and wellness program.
Other examples: we may work with you on advance care planning and advanced health directives. Or we might refer you to acupuncture to help manage pain. We can also help connect you to specialty care if you need services we do not provide.
