Outpatient Care
Primary Care with the Beacham Center for Geriatric Medicine
The Beacham Center for Geriatric Medicine provides expert primary care for older adults at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Our interdisciplinary team offers a full range of primary care, including post-hospitalization referrals and treating fractures and falls, frailty, confusion and memory problems. We also coordinate care with other specialists, care providers, family and any in-home health care providers. Our comprehensive program eliminates or simplifies stressful decisions for patients and their caregivers, and helps them enjoy their golden years with their family, friends and community.
About the Beacham Center
Our geriatricians are doctors and advanced practice providers who specialize in caring for adults 65 years of age and older. Their extensive training allows them to diagnose, treat and prevent age-related problems that even the best primary care providers and general practitioners might not recognize.
The Beacham Center for Geriatric Medicine’s highly skilled doctors, advanced practice providers and staff use their knowledge and experience to provide unparalleled primary care for older adults. Our care providers blend the expertise, resources and facilities of Johns Hopkins’ top-ranked geriatrics program with a holistic focus on the patient’s quality of life, and arrange their schedules to spend more time with patients and their families than most primary care physicians. This extra attention allows for highly individualized care and the ability to understand and help patients with any complicated medical or social situations they may have. In addition, our easy-to-use electronic medical record system allows patients and primary care physicians to send test results and messages to our geriatricians securely from any online computer.
Our geriatricians understand that advancing age comes with its own challenges, which can be complicated and difficult to understand. As one of the pioneering geriatric medicine outpatient practices in the nation, we have extensive institutional experience improving quality of life for seniors. We provide primary care for older adults and specialize in the 4Ms of geriatrics: assessment of mobility and falls, assessment of cognition, addressing medications and polypharmacy, and assessing what matters most to our patients, all while providing ongoing care that aligns with their goals and wishes.
To ensure high-quality, continuous care, our doctors and advanced practice providers are available for consultations and also offer an annual wellness visit to identify problems early and prevent future illness for all Medicare enrollees. During this visit, individual patients meet with a geriatrician to review their conditions, medicines and hospitalizations, as well as discuss their risk factors and how to stay healthy and well. If patients require specialty treatment, our geriatricians coordinate treatment and recovery plans with specialists, other caregivers and the patient’s primary care physician, as well the patient and patient’s family.
