Geriatrics Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (GRECCs)

Geriatrics Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (GRECCs) are specialized programs within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that focus on improving healthcare for older adults. They conduct research to better understand aging-related health issues, train healthcare professionals in geriatrics, and provide advanced clinical care tailored to seniors’ unique needs. By integrating research, education, and patient care, GRECCs aim to enhance quality of life and healthcare outcomes for elderly veterans and contribute to broader aging-related medical knowledge.
