Geriatric Education Centers

Geriatric Education Centers (GECs) are specialized programs that focus on training healthcare professionals to better care for older adults. They provide education, resources, and research to improve understanding of aging-related health issues. By enhancing skills and knowledge among healthcare providers, GECs aim to ensure that older adults receive respectful, effective, and personalized medical care that addresses their unique needs and challenges. These centers often collaborate with community organizations and academic institutions to promote aging-friendly practices and improve health outcomes for seniors.
