Welcome to the Medication Optimization Center (Deprescribing Center)
At the Medication Optimization Center (Deprescribing Center) at UT Health San Antonio, we recognize that medications play a vital role in health, but when medication regimens become complex, they can also create challenges. Whether you are an older adult managing multiple prescriptions, a caregiver supporting a loved one, or a clinician navigating complex care decisions, you are not alone.
Our Center was founded on the principle that medication decisions should be thoughtful, personalized, and centered on what matters most to patients and families. Our interdisciplinary team is dedicated to improving health outcomes by optimizing medication across the lifespan, particularly for individuals living with chronic, complex, or age-related conditions.
Here, you will find evidence-based resources, clinical expertise, and research-driven approaches designed to reduce medication-related harm and improve quality of life. From education and patient-centered care to innovative research and community partnerships, our goal is to support safer, smarter medication use—while honoring everyone’s goals, values, and experience.
Thank you for visiting. We invite you to explore, learn, and partner with us as we work together to advance excellence in medication care.
