Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care. Dr. Boyd has been doing exciting research into how to improve care of patients with multiple chronic diseases, and this promotion is in recognition of this important work. She is trained in internal medicine, geriatric medicine and epidemiology. Dr. Boyd’s main interests include the prevention and progression of disability among older adults, the clinical care of comorbid chronically ill and frail older adults both chronically and during acute illness such as hospitalization. Current projects include: 1) Functional Recovery Among Older Women, and 2) Hospitalization and Disability in a Cohort of Moderately to Severely Disabled Older Women. Dr. Boyd also collaborates with Dr. Chad Boult, Dr. Jon Darer and Dr. Albert Wu on projects looking to investigate the nature of current care and how to improve care of chronically ill older adults.
