At Geriatric Medicine of BCH, we offer care specifically for patients 65 years and older who have medically complex needs – care designed to enhance your quality of life and help you live with as much vitality, independence and dignity as possible.
Specialists that can address your unique needs
Our geriatric specialists work closely with you and your family to address your medical, social, cognitive and emotional needs. We keep your unique life goals in mind and offer strategies to support your well-being.
Compassionate, specially trained health care team
Our geriatric team has advanced training in caring for aging adults, as well as those living with the challenges of multiple medical conditions. Our team can be helpful to you and your family if you:

- Take multiple medications for chronic conditions
- Require appointments with and treatments from different providers
- Are recovering from a hospital stay
Support for family members participating in your care
We also make it a priority to support family members who help care for you by providing easy access to your health information. For instance, through our MyBCH patient portal, family members can message your providers, check test results and participate in your care.
