MONROE - Monroe Clinic will host an presentation on geriatrics medicine by Dr. Vincent Lee at noon Friday, Feb. 10 at Twining Valley Retirement Community, 700 8th Ave.

Geriatricians are physicians specialized in adult medicine, focusing on seniors and their health needs. Patients will commonly see a geriatrician due to concerns about memory, functional decline, mood difficulties and assistance with advanced health planning.

A team approach is often applied in geriatrics, requiring the help of physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, the family and community to provide comprehensive care.

Lee offers comprehensive care focused on the distinct health needs of the elderly, including supporting seniors with memory, mood and sleep complaints. Addressing quality of life, management of disease and disability are key components of the geriatric approach.

A light lunch will be provided. To RSVP, contact (608) 329-5999.
