Füssen seniors tour Mayo Clinic's geriatrics unit in exclusive visit
The Füssen Senior Citizens' Advisory Council recently visited the Mayo Clinic. During the meeting, members toured the geriatrics unit and discussed its operations with clinic staff. The visit included a guided walkthrough led by the department's head physician.
Dr. Jan Savarino, who oversees the geriatrics department, showed the council around the facility. Senior physician Dr. Christian Ott and managing director Alexander Heim joined the tour as well.
After exploring the unit, Ilona Deckwerth, chair of the advisory council, led a working session. The group discussed topics related to elderly care, though no specific updates on patient numbers, equipment, or treatments were shared. Reviews suggest the clinic remains busy, but no detailed trends were provided.
The visit allowed council members to see the Mayo Clinic's geriatrics unit firsthand. Clinic leaders and medical staff engaged directly with the advisory group during the session. The meeting concluded without new data on recent changes in the department.
