Our approach to aging

Our multidisciplinary specialists develop personalized care plans that address your physical, emotional, and social needs. We coordinate care at home, or in the hospital, or nursing home.

Compassionate, personalized care
We treat every patient and family member with dignity and respect. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you feel understood and supported at every step of care.
Specialized outpatient care before surgery
Our outpatient pre-operative program helps older adults with complex medical needs prepare for surgery. This program has helped decrease the length of patients’ hospital stays and readmission rates.
Collaborative inpatient support after surgery
Our Geriatrics Inpatient Fracture Trauma Service (GIFTS) specifically supports orthopedic trauma patients who must undergo emergency surgery. The program combines expertise from orthopedic specialists and geriatric doctors and has helped decrease patients' recovery and reduce post-operative complications.
Education and research leadership
Our clinicians teach, mentor, and collaborate to advance the field of aging care. Through ongoing research and innovation, we bring the latest evidence-based approaches directly to our patients.
