Dr. Don Melady, transforming emergency care of older adults at Sinai Health and around the world

Meet Dr. Don Melady, Emergency Physician at Mount Sinai Hospital and Associate Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine. As a Schwartz/Reisman Emergency Medicine Institute (SREMI) scholar, he is a global leader and trailblazer in Geriatric Emergency Care. He is the co-author of a recently published guidebook for ED’s around the world which offers practical ways for emergency care to manage and evolve with society’s growing older population. As he prepares to step away from bedside care to increase focus on academics and advocacy, we had the chance to catch up with Dr. Melady to reflect and also look ahead.
