An AHN geriatric primary care physician specializes in caring for patients as they age. Our experts help keep you healthy and doing what you enjoy today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
AHN geriatric primary care physicians and specialists determine your current health and risk factors, provide care for conditions you’re experiencing, and help connect you and your caregivers with resources to support your health goals.
Our doctors prioritize learning about your current health, care preferences, and goals. Then you’ll work together to achieve those goals and meet you where you are on your health journey. We review and streamline your medications. We also help identify and prevent any potential issues that are a normal part of aging, including issues with thinking and memory.
AHN uses specialized plans to care for elderly patients receiving overnight (or longer) care in our hospitals. Along with treating the condition that brought you to the hospital, we can help you plan your return home and set you up for an effective recovery. Inpatient services include:
Our geriatric primary care providers and specialists help older adults manage their health and maintain their independence. We see patients through video visits as well as in doctor’s offices throughout western PA, where we provide a wide variety of services, including:
AHN’s Healthcare@Home can provide a full range of quality care services right to your door, including home health care, palliative care, medical equipment and supplies, infusion therapy, and hospice care.
We also provide many of the outpatient services above online. We can conduct comprehensive geriatric assessments using telehealth services as well as consultations with geriatric primary care providers.
Jefferson Hospital’s Senior Plus Service links older adults to hundreds of programs and services available to South Hills, Steel Valley, and Mon Valley residents. We help older adults or their caregivers by matching their individual needs to programs and services. We do this with care, concern, and confidentiality.
