Jason Evers, D.O.
“My first real exposure to geriatric medicine was during my first year of medical school, when my grandmother was hospitalized in the ICU. I remember one of the things that left the biggest impact on me was the interactions my family and I had with the medical staff. In caring for loved ones, you have to understand where they come from to be effective; nothing comes close to this like seeing patients in their homes, and communicating with family members. I am looking forward to growing further as a physician and as a person through my work with the Bluestone family.” —Dr. Evers- Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Suwanee, Georgia
