About Us

The Geriatric Medicine clinic is an inter-professional, team-based, and teaching practice that works to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for our patients, families, and staff. We are mindful of the importance of honoring each person’s worth and strive to ensure that patients, family, and staff members feel heard, seen, and respected in all interactions. We practice in a team-based style in which two or more of our providers will be caring for each patient. As an academic practice, we ensure that our trainees can enjoy excellent clinical experiences and count on robust supervision from our faculty.
