Geriatric Medicine

Welcome to the UNC Division of Geriatric Medicine! Adults over 85 are the fastest-growing segment of the US population. In North Carolina, adults 65 and older will increase from 1.6 million to 2.6 million in the next two decades. Our goal is to leverage a new era of aging to improve care for older patients, who are rewriting medical history as they view new horizons in health and longevity.
