GERIATRICSNorthwestern Medicine recognizes that older adults are an important population, and we strive to innovate in the field of geriatrics. Our geriatricians and gerontologists are committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered geriatric treatment and clinical research that considers the unique set of multifaceted health issues older adults face, including physical, emotional and social well-being.
Home to Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Center, one of 14 centers in the U.S. dedicated to research and breakthroughs in aging, we bring together research from across Northwestern Medicine to improve primary care for older adults with multiple medical conditions. The center also trains investigators in aging and geriatrics science to continue this mission into the future. Our program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital has been ranked among the top 10 geriatrics programs in the nation for eight years in a row by U.S. News & World Report, 2023 – 2024. We are continuously expanding an already wide range of clinical service lines, including home care, outpatient and inpatient services, consultation, primary care, supportive living, skilled nursing care and long-term care. |
