Supporting the Geriatrics Workforce

Our bodies change over time, and our health care needs to adapt with us. Geriatrics is the specialty focused on the high-quality, person-centered care we all need as we age. “High-quality care” aims to improve health, independence, and quality of life for older people. “Person-centered care” puts our personal values and preferences at the heart of our care decisions.

The elderly have a right to seek and receive adequate medical care.
