Summary

• Dr. Jorge G. Ruiz is a geriatrician at Memorial Healthcare System where he specializes in the care of older adults. He provides routine medical care as well as assistance with aging frailty; falls and mobility problems; polypharmacy; mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
  
  Dr. Ruiz has a holistic approach to caring for older persons that involves looking beyond their physical needs to see each person a whole. He helps patients weather changes and challenges of ageing including addressing their emotional, social, and spiritual needs. He considers the older person's mental health; function and independence; and their social life and environment.
  
  In addition to providing patient care, I’m also involved in advancing the field of geriatric care through governance, education, training, and research. I am chair of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Geriatric Medicine Board and member of the ABIM Council; Clinical Affiliate Professor of Geriatric Medicine in the Department of Medicine, Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University; and the Memorial Healthcare System Medical Director of Geriatric Medicine.
