At Mount Sinai’s Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine, we are changing the way we look at, think about, and experience aging. Under the leadership of R. Sean Morrison, MD, the Department’s Ellen and Howard C. Katz Chair, our expert geriatricians provide clinical services and programs that encourage healthy aging, treat patients with chronic illnesses, and provide support and education for family members and caregivers.

In addition to traditional medical treatments, we offer holistic and integrative health therapies to help strengthen patients' minds and bodies. We are also building sustainable models for practice, business, education, and research that can be used around the world to change the face of aging.

We understand that managing multiple conditions can often be complex. Our team of geriatric physicians, nurses, and social workers collaborates with other medical specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan and maintain the physical and emotional well-being of both patients and their loved ones in the setting that is most appropriate to their needs. We care for patients in the hospital, in the community, and in their homes.
