Geriatric Medical Care

UPMC Content 3

Clinical Care

To meet the often complex needs of older adults, UPMC has grown to encompass not only one of the largest clinical geriatric programs in the country, but also the largest concentration of geriatric psychiatrists. With its main campus in Allegheny County, PA and locations throughout western Pennsylvania, UPMC offers a number of services geared toward older adults and their families.

UPMC Division of Geriatric Medicine

The Division of Geriatric Medicine at UPMC is one of the largest and most respected programs in the country. Led by Neil M. Resnick, MD, Chief of the Division of Geriatric Medicine, its mission is to enhance the health of older adults by providing superb clinical care, by training others to do the same, and by conducting research to ensure that tomorrow’s care will be better than today’s.

Specialty Services

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is a way that health care professionals collect information to allow for an evaluation of health status and functional abilities in a number of different areas including:

  • A comprehensive medical history
  • Physical exam
  • Review of patient medications
  • Discussion regarding family and social supports
  • Questions about legal issues and financial concerns

The information is then organized in a care plan to provide the supportive information to help older adults get connected with the supportive resources they may need.
