An evidence-based exploration of the prevalence, risk factors and impact of social isolation and loneliness in older adults, with an emphasis on a practical approach to screening and intervention in the clinical setting.
Dr. Alexis Eastman is a Clinical Associate Professor in the UW Division of Geriatrics. Having done all her medical training at UWSMPH, she couldn’t imagine any other workplace would be as fun, so somehow convinced them to give her a job and never plans to leave. Her clinical practice focuses on primary care of older adults, with additional clinics in memory care and pre-operative evaluation. Additionally, she currently serves as the Senior Medical Director for ambulatory medical specialties at UW Health, overseeing the clinical operations of non-surgical specialty clinics, and as medical director of Badger Prairie Health Care Center, the Dane county nursing home. Her academic work has mainly been in curriculum development and education, particularly of medical students. She is actively involved in public outreach and education across the state. In her spare time, she’s an avid, possibly obsessive, gardener who has never met a tomato she didn’t like.
