Dr. Russell is from a northern suburb of Chicago, IL. He attended Washington University in St. Louis where he received his B.A. in Film & Media Studies and his Masters in Public Health. He attended University of Illinois at Chicago for medical school and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. During his residency training, he was drawn towards working in clinic where he valued getting to know patients on a more personal level than can often be afforded in a busy hospital setting. He found that understanding his patients’ values allowed him to better help his patients make complicated medical decisions around managing multiple diseases while maintaining quality of life. He was drawn to geriatrics & palliative care because he found these specialties particularly well-suited for providing patient-centered medicine.He cares about expanding access to quality geriatric medicine to populations from diverse communities and backgrounds, as well as expanding access to outpatient palliative care to all patients with serious illness.In his free time, he enjoys being with family and friends, camping, hiking, watching foreign films, reading, and listening to music. Since moving to Ann Arbor, he has been picking up gravel biking, rowing, and cross-country skiing.
His top areas of expertise are Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), Opioid Induced Constipation, Cerebellar Degeneration, and Hypertension.
His clinical research consists of co-authoring 3 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

Dr. Mody is one of very few internists in this country with an expertise in aging populations, epidemiology, an active research laboratory in microbiology and a translational research agenda focused on vulnerable aging population. She has mentored several junior faculty, fellows, post-doctoral students and residents in conducting clinical, epidemiologic as well as laboratory-based research projects and has had uninterrupted NIH funding since 2003. In 2015, she received a 5-year NIH K24 Midcareer Investigator Award to mentor junior faculty in translational aging, infectious diseases and health outcomes research. Her NIH and AHRQ funded work has created a thriving consortium of post-acute and long-term care facilities in SE Michigan interested in developing interventions to enhance infection prevention in a traditionally resource poor setting. In an NIH-R01 study (PI: Mody), her team evaluated a multi-modal targeted infection-prevention (TIP) intervention to prevent resistant organisms and infections in long-term care residents with indwelling devices. This study has garnered national attention and spurred several subsequent pilot projects. Our group (PIs: Saint, Mody) has been awarded an AHRQ contract to implement lessons learnt from this model to 500 federal and non-federal post-acute and long-term care facilities across 50 states in the US. Funded by another concurrent NIH-R01 (PI: Mody), her team is defining the complex relationship between antimicrobial resistance, caregiver and environmental contamination, and functional disability in post-acute care facilities. In order to understand transmission dynamics within post-acute and long-term care facilities, she is collaborating with other national leaders to evaluate spread of organisms from a resident to healthcare worker gown and gloves. She is nationally active at several research methodology and career development activities at the American Geriatrics Society, Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Dr. Mody is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Asymptomatic Bacteriuria, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
