Geriatric medicine focuses on the unique healthcare needs of older adults.
Our WashU Medicine geriatric specialists provide comprehensive care that helps you maintain independence, manage chronic conditions and support your overall quality of life as you age. We understand that health concerns can become more complex over time. Our team takes a whole-person approach, considering medical conditions, medications, mobility, cognitive health, and personal goals when developing care plans. We work closely with patients, families and caregivers to address changing health needs and provide guidance through every stage of aging.
As WashU Medicine physicians, our geriatric providers practice in geriatric primary care and geriatric consultative clinics across the city. We collaborate with primary care physicians, specialists, therapists and support services to help older adults receive the care and resources they need.
Geriatric medicine services include:
- Comprehensive care for older adults
- Management of multiple chronic conditions
- Medication review and care planning
- Cognitive and functional health assessments
- Support for patients, families, and caregivers
- Geriatric primary care and inpatient care
