UHealth – University of Miami Health System’s Geriatrics program delivers national-caliber expertise in aging, frailty, cognitive disorders, and multimorbidity—bringing together geriatricians, neurologists, cardiologists, oncologists, surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists to elevate outcomes for the region’s most medically complex older adults.

WHY OUR PROGRAM STANDS OUT

• A regional destination for complex geriatric care, managing multimorbidity, polypharmacy, frailty, cognitive decline, mobility disorders, and chronic disease at volumes unmatched in South Florida.
• Integrated cognitive and memory excellence, combining geriatrics, neurology, psychiatry, and advanced diagnostics—including neuroimaging, biomarker-driven assessments, and personalized dementia care.
• Geriatric co-management across UHealth’s highest-acuity service lines—oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, trauma, and surgery—improving safety, outcomes, functional status, and transitions of care for older adults.
• Leadership in frailty, functional decline, and perioperative geriatrics , offering comprehensive geriatric assessments, fall-risk stratification, gait and mobility evaluation, and optimization pathways that reduce complications and enhance recovery after complex procedures.
• Growing research and education footprint in aging science, advancing work in cognitive aging, frailty biomarkers, chronic disease burden, health equity, and care transitions—supported by one of the nation’s top geriatrics fellowship and interdisciplinary training programs.
