Geriatrics is a medical specialty focused on advancing the health and well-being of elderly persons. As people live longer, geriatrics addresses unique health challenges — managing multiple chronic conditions, issues related to mobility, balance, and fall prevention, addressing mental health concerns, and providing holistic patient-centered care. These include physical, emotional, and social factors impacting aging individuals.
At BHSMC, we offer geriatric services such as a comprehensive geriatric assessment and holistic care with our Internal Medicine – Geriatric doctor. As life expectancy increases worldwide, geriatrics has become vital in supporting the unique needs of seniors. This emphasizes comprehensive care to improve quality of life and promote healthy aging.
