HCA Florida North Florida Hospital

HCA Florida North Florida Hospital’s Senior Healthcare Centers provide specialized geriatric care for adults aged 65 and older in Gainesville and Melrose, Florida. Across four locations, senior care physicians, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists and case managers work together to tailor care to each patient’s medical, functional and psychosocial needs. Primary care is supported by preventive services, depression and memory screening, immunizations, lab draws and routine in-office procedures, including EKGs, bladder ultrasounds, simple skin procedures and ear lavages.

The program also offers pharmacist-led medication reviews, adherence support and assistance exploring medication affordability and prescription coverage. Collaborative clinics help manage osteoporosis and anticoagulation care in coordination with a patient’s physician. Case managers connect patients and families with community resources, caregiver support, referrals, and information on long-term care options and advance directives. Caregiver support groups are also available. New patients can contact one of the centers to schedule an appointment and access downloadable intake forms, while existing patients can use the patient portal.
