Penn Geriatrics at HUP
Our Geriatric Medicine providers collaborate
closely with referring physicians and all of
the necessary disciplines within medicine, nursing,
psychiatry, and social work, to arrive at an
individual treatment plan appropriate for a
patient's needs. This plan may include comprehensive
evaluation, diagnosis and treatment or rehabilitation
for conditions related to cardiology, hypertension,
vision, gynecology, urology, podiatry, rheumatology,
or primary care.
Mental health programs include
evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety,
sleep disorders, and memory loss. When appropriate,
Geriatric Medicine physicians collaborate with
the Institute on Aging to provide more extensive
services.
 U.S.
News & World Report ranked the Hospital
of the University of Pennsylvania the highest
in the region for geriatric medicine. Overall,
U.S. News ranked HUP as one of the nation's
top hospitals.
