Julia A. Hiner MD

Dr. Julia Hiner has loved taking care of older adults since her medical school years. Subsequently, that love has grown into her career’s passion. She believes patient care should not just be about disease management, but rather comprehensive care for the whole person with an emphasis on building meaningful relationships between healthcare professionals, patients, and their families. She enjoys getting to know her patients as individuals through their life stories and experiences.

She especially enjoys taking care of vulnerable populations, dedicating her time to adults who have been mistreated, neglected, and exploited. She partners with the Forensic Assessment Center Network and the Senior Justice Assessment Center, as well as providing Geriatric, Palliative, and Primary Care medicine to those in home-based, clinic, and hospital settings.

She serves as the course director for both the Older Adult Mistreatment rotation and the Bridge Home-Based Primary Care rotation for Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Medicine fellows. Additionally, she participates in creating educational opportunities for medical learners at all stages, through direct “bedside” teaching, but also lecture, module, and curriculum creation.
