Patient Care Overview<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

UNC School of Medicine\u2019s Division of Geriatric Medicine provides patient care through our UNC Geriatrics clinic at Eastowne in Chapel Hill (outpatient\/primary care) and at our Inpatient Geriatrics Service at UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus (inpatient\/hospital care).<\/p>\n

Also, we serve older adults in continuing care retirement centers and long-term care nursing facilities, as well as those in palliative care and hospice programs.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, we consider it both privilege and passion to help older adults maintain health and independence. Without a doubt, our goal is to provide the highest quality of compassionate care and support to these patients and their families.<\/p>\n

Patient Visits<\/h2>\n

With certifications in internal or family medicine and geriatric medicine, a Geriatrician is both family doctor (primary care physician) and specialist in diseases of aging. So we understand how aging affects the body and how medications interact with aging brains and bodies.<\/p>\n
