Developing individualized care plans based on each patient’s medical needs, personal goals, and quality-of-life priorities

Managing complex chronic illnesses and multiple comorbidities common among older adults

Evaluating medication regimens and helping reduce unnecessary or potentially inappropriate medications

Collaborating with nursing, advanced practice providers, rehabilitation professionals, specialists, social services, and other members of the care team

Partnering with patients, families, and caregivers to support informed decision-making and care planning

Providing education regarding disease management, healthy aging, preventive care, and available resources

Coordinating care across specialties and healthcare settings to promote continuity

Participating in interdisciplinary meetings and quality-improvement initiatives

Applying current evidence-based practices in geriatrics and long-term care medicine

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for a physician who is passionate about caring for older adults and values the relationships that are central to geriatric medicine.

Qualifications include:

Board Certified or Board Eligible in Internal Medicine, or Family Medicine

More Than a Job—An Opportunity to Practice Medicine with Purpose

For physicians drawn to geriatrics, some of the most rewarding moments in medicine come from helping patients and families navigate complex decisions, preserve independence, manage multiple health conditions, and focus care on what matters most.

At St. Mary’s, your expertise will be valued not only for the conditions you treat, but for the perspective you bring to the care of older adults.
