A Commitment to Senior Wellness Exploring Comprehensive Care for Older Adults
Lincoln Hospital recently welcomed a group of local seniors for a comprehensive tour of its geriatrics clinic and the services available. The event aimed to familiarize older adults with the specialized care designed to meet their unique health needs within the NYC Health + Hospitals system. Geriatric care focuses on the health and well-being of older adults, typically those aged 65 and above. It goes beyond treating individual diseases to address the complex interplay of medical, functional, cognitive, and psychosocial factors that impact seniors. This
includes managing multiple chronic conditions, preventing falls, optimizing medication regimens, and addressing memory concerns. NYC Health + Hospitals provides comprehensive geriatric services across its facilities, prioritizing a patient-centered approach. At Lincoln Hospital, this means offering dedicated teams of geriatricians, nurses, social workers, and other specialists who understand the complexities of aging. These services often include comprehensive assessments, primary care tailored to older adults, cognitive health
evaluations, and support for maintaining independence and quality of life. The tour provided a direct look at how Lincoln Hospital is equipped to support the senior community in the Bronx, ensuring access to quality, age-appropriate healthcare.
