Position Summary
A community hospital in Saratoga Springs, New York, is looking for a compassionate, dedicated Geriatrician to join its growing Geriatric Medicine team. The team is part of an IHI Age-Friendly Health System.
The role is mainly outpatient, with extended appointment times. That leaves room to build real relationships with patients and caregivers and to tailor care to each person’s goals, values and quality-of-life priorities.

Provide comprehensive outpatient geriatric assessments and consultative care for older adults with complex medical and social needs
Work with the inpatient consultative geriatric service so patients move smoothly between settings and keep continuity of care
Consult with community primary care providers on geriatric syndromes, polypharmacy, functional assessment, dementia care and advance care planning
Work alongside APPs, case management, social work and other interdisciplinary teams on value-based, patient-centered care
Teach family medicine residents and/or fellows, if interested
Facility & Group Highlights
Independent, community hospital
Nationally recognized for nursing excellence and patient safety
Multispecialty medical group of about 450 physicians and APPs, known for collegiality, shared governance and strong administrative support
Part of a regional, not-for-profit health system serving northeastern New York and western New England
