Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ – New York's Expert Geriatric Specialists
Physicians and nurse practitioners at the Irving Sherwood Wright Center on Aging provide both primary care and consultation in a multidisciplinary, collaborative setting. The Center also runs Housecalls, an innovative program that brings physicians to the homes of elderly patients in the neighborhood of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and delivers care for those unable to visit our physicians.
Additionally, in the summer of 1999, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ formed the Center for Aging Research and Clinical Care, which integrates all geriatrics activities across the institution. The Center is administered by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, and its mission is to improve the quality of life of older adults through an integration of NewYork-Presbyterian and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ's Aging Programs in research, clinical care, and teaching.
