Healthcare needs for senior adults are unique. UMC offers patient-centered healthcare for adults 65 and older from a skilled and compassionate medical team that specializes in caring for seniors.
Expert Care by a Multidisciplinary Team
Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals led by a geriatrician. Team members include board certified physician specialists, registered nurses, occupational and physical therapists, respiratory therapists, registered dieticians, case managers and social workers. The team's focus is on improving every patient's health.
Geriatric Care Closer to Home
The same multidisciplinary team approach and care is available at our Outpatient Clinics in an outpatient setting. This means that the patient’s link between the hospital and Geriatrician is seamless, resulting in better outcomes and continuity of care in and out of the hospital.
At our Outpatient Clinics, a patient could be assessed, diagnosed and referred for hospitalization. Or, a patient can receive follow-up care at the centers after a hospitalization.
Outpatient Specialty Services
Our Outpatient Clinics offer specialty healthcare services for health conditions that affect geriatric age patients.
