Medical/Geriatric Psychiatry

The Medical and Geriatric Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic specializes in the assessment and management of elderly patients as well as patients with general medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, neurological disease, rheumatological disease, cancer) and associated stress or psychiatric disorders. In addition to comprehensive evaluation and treatment services, the clinic offers opportunities for participation in clinical trials of new medications.

University Hospital services provide 30 adult care beds, adult day hospital facilities, 10 children’s beds, a comprehensive psychiatric emergency program, a consultation-liaison service and out patient clinics for adults and children. Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides a 50-bed acute in-patient service and a 50-bed chronic care service. Eastern Long Island Hospital provides an 18-bed and adult inpatient service.
