Geriatric & Palliative Medicine Patient Care
Dr. Marjorie Almeda

Focused on Community Care

Our division was established in 1967 and has grown to be one of the largest and most successful divisions of its kind in the country.

The Division of Geriatric and Palliative Medicine is home to over 85 faculty, advanced practice providers, trainees, and support staff all working together on our goal to provide cutting-edge and compassionate care to older adults and those with serious illnesses. We achieve this by providing exemplary multidisciplinary clinical care and services, outstanding educational opportunities, and advancing research on the complex healthcare issues of the elderly population. 

We offer a full range of interdisciplinary clinical services and programs at multiple locations in Ann Arbor and Northville. For our clinic information, specialty clinics, procedure information and more, please visit the Geriatrics section or the Palliative Care page on UofMHealth.org.
