I really like the Geisinger comprehensive care model for elderly populations and am amazed at the level of commitment for all the services and resources made available. Everything can be completed in one visit, labs, imaging, follow-ups, etc. and you don't have to worry about spacing six or nine months out. If I want to see a patient tomorrow, I can. I think this model is going to demonstrate some impressive results for our patients. I absolutely love the patients. Everyone comes with a story, and the team that we have here is just amazing.
