My 30-year experience in family medicine has evolved from a small group rural practice with obstetrics to focusing on geriatrics and geriatric education at The Ohio State University's Department of Family and Community Medicine. My current effort is to strengthen education of medical students, residents and fellows at the ambulatory, inpatient, post-acute, subacute, longterm care and hospice sites associated with The Ohio State University. I continue to enjoy caring for patients of all ages and my special interest is in the care of the elderly and end of life.
