Geriatric Medicine

Geriatric medicine is a branch of healthcare focused on caring for older adults. Within family medicine, it involves understanding the unique medical needs of seniors, as they often have multiple health conditions and take various medications. Geriatricians work to manage these complexities, promoting health and quality of life as people age. They emphasize preventive care, appropriate treatments, and support for both patients and their families, ensuring that older adults can maintain their independence and well-being while addressing age-related challenges.
