Toni M. Jackson

Hometown: Queens, NY

Medical school: Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine

Residency: Morehouse School of Medicine

Pursuing Geriatric Medicine: My professional interests include medical education, mentorship, community outreach, frailty, care transitions, caregiver support, and geriatric syndromes. My prior community engagement includes community-based colorectal cancer research conducted in partnership with local churches, as well as broader community outreach initiatives. I am particularly interested in helping older adults and their families navigate complex care, changes in health and function, and evolving caregiver needs, with an emphasis on practical, patient-centered care that reflects what matters most to everyone.

Personal history: Outside of medicine, I love plants and have filled my home with them. Caring for plants and gardening are things my mom and I both enjoy, and they’ve become a special interest we share. I also enjoy cooking a few favorite meals and spending time in the Caribbean. My family is from Jamaica, so that part of the world has always felt especially meaningful to me. Having attended medical school in Virginia, I am also excited to be back and to call Virginia home again.
