Geriatric institute to present program at Bartley Healthcare

Bartley Healthcare is partnering with Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus (MMCSC) Geriatrics Institute to hold an educational seminar on July 21 at 3 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Bartley’s campus, 175 Bartley Road, Jackson.

The presenters will be Claire Verruni, RN and Melanie Vernacchia, APN from Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus. Claire and Melanie will be discussing the benefits of the newly established Geriatrics Institute at MMCSC. They plan to discuss their capabilities and services, and how it can benefit Bartley and the rest of the community.

The MMCSC Geriatrics Institute, which opened its doors in Mid-November, provides integrated inpatient and outpatient geriatric services for patients 65 and older. The third floor of Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus houses the inpatient, outpatient and community education aspects of geriatric medicine, all in one location. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and audiologists will also be located on this floor to accommodate the needs of patients as they transition from inpatient to outpatient care.

Further complementing the Geriatrics Institute are the Geriatric Emergency Medicine Unit, created to meet the more complex needs of seniors in emergency care, and the Acute Care for Elders Unit, an inpatient unit utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to collaboratively develop a patient-centered care plan.

Anyone interested in attending this seminar, please contact Lindsay Constantino, Marketing Coordinator, at Bartley Healthcare, at 732-370-4700, ext. 1368, or [email protected], by July 17.
