The Georgetown Village is excited to share that Eric De Jonge, M.D., one of the nation’s most renowned physicians specializing in geriatrics, will be joining us in the Georgetown Village Square to discuss "What is Possible in Home Based Medical Care."

Dr. De Jonge currently serves as Executive Director of the MedStar House Call Program and Director of Geriatrics at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. He also serves as President of the American Academy of Home Care Medicine (AAHCM) and is Co-Chair of the AAHCM Public Policy Committee.

In 2003, he was named National House Call Physician of the Year by the AAHCM. In 2007, Dr. De Jonge helped develop and advocate for a Medicare reform law called Independence at Home (IAH), to advance the field of home care medicine and reduce Medicare costs. The IAH demonstration began in 2012 and Dr. De Jonge has directed a successful IAH site at MedStar Health for seven years.

A native of Chicago, Illinois, Dr. De Jonge graduated with honors from Stanford University and from the Yale School of Medicine. He trained in primary care internal medicine at Johns Hopkins Bayview and completed fellowships in health policy at Georgetown and Geriatrics at Johns Hopkins. He is on the teaching faculty at Georgetown School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Medicine.
