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.
