Dr. Pany Decossard, MD

Dr. Decossard joined the Deckerville Community Hospital staff in 2004, after receiving his Geriatric Medicine Fellowship from Loyola University Health Systems / Hines VA Hospital in Illinois. He lived for several years in the “ Windy City”, and then moved here to our rural community, where he has made his home with his wife Michelle (who is also a physician) and his two young daughters, Regine and Jasmine.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Decossard has worked as a physician in several hospitals, focusing his philosophy on what he terms a “reverence for life”, and using this basic principle to guide his medical practice. Our resident Geriatrician uses his compassionate understanding of the unique physical and psychological challenges that confront older adults to care for the seniors in our community.

Senior health services begin with health screenings and education regarding the maintenance of a healthy and active lifestyle, and carry into the assessment of fall risks and unsafe medications. Services include attention to medical disorders such as hypertension and diabetes and care of chronic conditions such as heart disease. Dr. Decossard has a special interest in memory problems caused by Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

Deckervile Community Hospital is fortunate to have access to the talent and experience of Dr. Decossard, and we look forward to providing him with many future opportunities to care for our senior citizens.
