Geriatrics

Congratulations, Beverly and Ashley, on this well-deserved honor! Thank you for your outstanding dedication to patient care and for representing our organization with excellence. This prestigious recognition celebrates nurses who demonstrate exceptional leadership, compassion, clinical excellence, and a lasting commitment to improving the lives of their patients and communities.

As healthcare systems evolve to meet the complex needs of an aging population, one model stands out for its compassion, accessibility, and patient-centered approach: the Geriatric House Call Program. At UTMB, the Geriatric House Call Program has become a vital service for older adults who are no longer able to visit traditional clinic settings. Jennifer Young, APRN, MSN, AGPCNP-C, a dedicated member of the UTMB team, took time to share insights into the House Call Program and the remarkable work being done to care for seniors in their homes. Her passion for serving this population is evident in every aspect of the program’s mission. From building strong relationships with patients and families to collaborating with community resources, the House Call team is redefining what it means to age with dignity and receive care with heart.

UTMB Health kicked off with an enlightening Aging Well talk series at OLLI Osher Lifelong Learning at The University of Texas. The event featured esteemed experts, included, Dr. Alan Landay, Dr. Mukaila Raji, Dr. Missy Morrow, and Dr. Emily Arentson-Lantz, PhD.
