The Center for Geriatric Health Care

About Us

The Center for Geriatric Health at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center is a widely recognized program designed to provide assessment and primary health care for adults 65 and over. Total health care on an outpatient basis enables the patient to live independently at home and to enhance his or her quality of life.

The uniqueness of the program lies in its multidisciplinary approach to providing medical care for seniors. A team of specially-trained geriatricians provides primary care to patients, and if necessary, will make referrals to sub-specialty physicians located on-site at the medical center.

• Physicians on-call 24 hours a day
  
• Geriatric assessment and primary care
