The W.R. Bohon Senior Health Clinic located at Elder Care is home
to Dr. Christopher A. Taylor, Oklahoma’s first Fellowship
trained geriatrician and the only geriatrician and gerontologist
in the area.
Our clinic offers comprehensive geriatric assessments, primary
care services and complete care of older adults with complex medical
and social issues.
Dr. Taylor will collaborate with area family practice physicians
and other health care providers to formulate a comprehensive health
care and social care plan.
The benefits of a comprehensive geriatric assessment can include:
- An improvement in independence, health, sense of control, and
quality of life.
- A decreased likelihood of the need for hospitalization and a
delayed need for institutionalization.
- Improved understanding and self-management skills for chronic
illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease.
- Improved diagnosis and management of geriatric syndromes, such
as frequent falls, memory loss, and loss of bladder control.
