The AGS Foundation for Health in Aging

The AGS Foundation for Health in Aging was established by the American Geriatrics Society in 1999 to bring the expertise of geriatrics and gerontological health professionals to the public.  The Foundation draws on the expertise of AGS members to provide comprehensive information on the common diseases and disorders of older adults.    

Our Mission

To provide resources for families and others who care for older adults and to encourage public policy that improves the health and well-being of older adults and those who care for them.
