As we age, our health care needs change and become more complex. Chronic conditions, medications, treatments and lifestyle changes can interact in ways that require specialized attention and coordinated care. At Baptist Medical Group, our geriatric medicine specialists are dedicated to helping older adults navigate these changes with confidence. By bringing together patients, families and a network of health care professionals, we provide coordinated, connected care designed to help older adults maintain their health and quality of life.
One of the primary goals of geriatric medicine is helping older adults remain active, independent and engaged in their daily lives. Whether managing a chronic condition, recovering from illness or addressing memory concerns, Baptist Medical Group is committed to providing the expertise, resources and support needed to help seniors thrive.
What geriatric care services does Baptist Medical Group’s specialists provide?
Geriatric medicine is a specialized field of health care focused on preventing, diagnosing and treating medical conditions in adults age 65 and older. Geriatric specialists work closely with primary care physicians and other providers to coordinate care and create personalized treatment plans that address the whole person, not just individual symptoms.
At Baptist Medical Group, our geriatric care services include:
- Management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease
- Medication reviews to reduce adverse drug interactions and improve safety
- Falls prevention assessments and mobility support
- Memory and cognitive evaluations
- Depression and anxiety screening and treatment
- Care planning for complex medical needs

Many older adults see multiple health care providers and take several medications to manage different conditions. Without coordination, treatment plans can become complicated and difficult to manage. Baptist Medical Group’s geriatric specialists work collaboratively with primary care physicians, specialists, therapists and caregivers to ensure every aspect of a patient's care is aligned.
