Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Celebrates New Outpatient Primary Care Practice


A longtime supporter of NewYork-Presbyterian, Kathryn Greenberg made a transformational gift to the Hospital to create a new home for The Center on Aging in honor of Dr. Ronald D. Adelman, co-Chief of the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine.

On January 30, 2020, NewYork-Presbyterian hosted a special event to celebrate Mrs. Greenberg and the grand opening of the Division’s new outpatient primary care practice.  Now located on the second floor of the Payson Pavilion at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, The Center on Aging embodies the deep respect the division’s co-Chiefs, Dr. Adelman and Dr. Mark Lachs, faculty, and staff have for their patients and families.

Serene and aesthetically beautiful, the Center is a state-of-the-art facility tailored to the needs of older adults and their caregivers.  It ensures the division’s ability to deliver outstanding geriatric care, along with enhanced staffing including additional geriatricians and nurse practitioners, as well as social workers and mental health professionals. The Center also offers psychosocial opportunities for the many people who receive care there, while serving as a model of innovative geriatric programming.
