The Precipitating Events Project, led by Dr. Thomas Gill, has followed older adults in the greater New Haven area since 1998.
The study has led to groundbreaking insights into how disability develops as people age, with the goal of informing interventions to maintain and restore function.
Our faculty have been pioneers in treating older adults with multiple complex medical problems, cognitive decline, and difficulties caring for themselves.
The Dorothy Adler Geriatric Assessment Center, founded in 1981, draws patients and families throughout New England.
We are deeply committed to training health professionals in geriatric principles, with fellowship programs that are among the most sought after in the country.
We recruit outstanding clinical fellows and seek to train leaders in education, health care improvement, and aging research.
This statue in front of the Adler Center, by Bruno Lucchesi, reminds us of our mission: to improve the health of all older adults through research, education, and clinical care.
Yale Geriatrics
Yale Geriatrics is devoted to the health and health care of older adults. We strive to ensure that all older adults, regardless of where they reside, receive care that is informed by cutting-edge discoveries in aging and provided by professionals who are expert in geriatric principles.
We are home to one of the largest and most productive aging research programs in the world, and are committed to training leaders in education, health care improvement, and clinical investigation. A key principle underscores all our work. Older adults differ widely in their health conditions, life contexts, and priorities. We believe that embracing and understanding this heterogeneity is essential to ensuring that our patients receive high-quality care.
