Geriatrics and Palliative Care- NYU School of Medicine

NYU Langone Health’s Division of Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care, part of the Department of Medicine, is committed to improving the quality of life of older adults and caring for people in need of compassionate support and symptom relief from serious illness. We offer comprehensive educational programs in geriatric medicine and palliative care; conduct research in these complex disciplines; and provide expert care through our many clinical services.

Our interdisciplinary team of physician– and nurse–scientists, health services researchers, clinical and behavioral scientists, neuropsychologists, health economists, and educators view research as a gateway to immediate and far-reaching health and healthcare quality improvement.

Our work is made more successful through our collaborations with other departments and divisions within NYU Langone. These include the Departments of Neurology, Population Health, and Psychiatry, Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and Clinical Innovation, Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology, and Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism. We also work with NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, as well as other schools and institutes on the NYU campus.

We have collaborative research relationships with NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System, and medical institutions throughout the country, including the University of California, Los Angeles; University of Michigan; Indiana University; Rush Medical College; Yale University; The George Washington University; and University of Rochester.
