Grateful to the Older Adult Advisory Council for inviting us to present on the work happening at to advance healthy aging in Orange County.

After years of compassion, dedication, and heartfelt service to our patients at , we celebrate Candy and the incredible impact she has made.

Her warmth, bilingual care, and genuine connection with so many of our older adults and families made everyone feel seen, heard, and at home. It’s hard to imagine our clinic without her, and she will be deeply missed.

Wishing you a beautiful and well-deserved retirement, Candy. We hope you enjoyed your CandyLand themed farewell! πŸ­πŸ¬πŸ’™βœ¨

πŸ“° Faculty Spotlight | UCI Health Geriatrics

We are proud to spotlight geriatrician, Katherine De Azambuja, MD, for her contribution to the recent California Health Report article, β€œThe Gift of Time.”

As advances in medicine help more people live longer after cancer, survivorship brings new opportunitiesβ€”and new challenges. Dr. De Azambuja shared her expertise on the importance of personalized, age-friendly care that considers not only medical complexity, but also what matters most to each individual as they age.

At UCI Health Geriatrics, we are proud to help older adults navigate health, healing, and longevity with compassion, dignity, and purpose.

πŸ’™ May is Older Americans Month! πŸ’™

This year’s theme, β€œChampion Your Health,” reminds us that healthy aging starts with prevention, wellness, self-advocacy, and taking an active role in your care.

At , we partner with older adults to champion their health through meaningful conversations about their health goals and What Matters Most to themβ€”one of the core 4Ms of Age-Friendly Care. By understanding what matters most, we can help personalize care, support informed decisions, and empower older adults to live with strength, purpose, and dignity.

This monthβ€”and every monthβ€”we celebrate the older adults, caregivers, and healthcare teams who are redefining what it means to age well. 🌟
