Weill Cornell Geropsychiatry Institute
NewYork Weill Cornell Medical Center
The Institute encompasses both the Westchester Division and the Payne
Whitney Clinic, and provides geriatric inpatients services at both
campuses, day hospital services at the Westchester Division, and
services
to patients at the Amsterdam Nursing Home. Dr. Robert Abrams, Director
of Geropsychiatry at the Manhattan Campus, also sees patients at
the
Wright Center. In addition, a Geropsychiatry Housecall Program has
been established to provide consultative care to elderly patients
whose homeboundedness is the basis of psychiatric conditions, such
as depression, bereavement, or dementia. The program is a collaboration
between the Department of Psychiatry and the Division of Geriatrics
and Gerontology. |
