The University of Florida’s Department of Aging and Geriatric Research is dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact in improving the health and quality of life of older adults.
The Department of Aging and Geriatric Research came into existence in February 2005. From day one, our goal has been to nourish collaboration between various fields relevant to aging and foster the integration of the latest research findings into elderly patient care, research, and education.
