This is the official page for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging Department of Geriatrics.

Our mission is clinical care, education, and research. Established through a $28.8 million gift from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, the Reynolds Institute on Aging recognizes that the focus of health care must shift from merely keeping people alive to making those later years healthier and more productive. In other words, the focus is not adding years to life; rather, it’s adding life to years. Through the generosity of the Reynolds Foundation in providing an additional $33.4 million gift in 2009, we are poised to expand our services, continuing our tradition of providing world-class medical care to the citizens of Arkansas. Our patient services include the Thomas and Lyon Longevity clinic, Walker Family Memory center, Housecall program and Palliative Care program.

Learning, connection, and the wisdom of generations came together at Presbyterian Village

We were thrilled to welcome medical students, PA students, internal and family medicine residents, pharmacy student and geriatrics fellows as they joined us in caring for older adults in inter professional learning at nursing home and rehabilitation settings.

One of the greatest joys of geriatrics is watching learning flow both ways. Our trainees gain invaluable wisdom from residents, while our older adults share their stories, experiences, and perspectives with the next generation of healthcare professionals.

A special thank you to Dr. Mendiratta, Medical Director and preceptor, and Janet Rader, PA student preceptor, for their dedication to mentorship and education in the presbyterian village.

We are grateful for these meaningful connections and for the older adults who continue to be among our greatest teachers. ❤️
