Florida Geriatrics Society - Advancing Geriatric Care in Florida Since 1989 |
Ignatz Leo Nascher, MD, argued that medical care for older adults should be considered a separate specialty, for which he coined the term “geriatrics” in 1909. Dr. Nascher’s pioneering work in the field was the foundation for what we now recognize as clinical geriatrics healthcare.
Our Mission Statement: The Florida Geriatrics Society is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization devoted to improving the quality of life and advancing the health care of older adults through education, research, networking, and improving public awareness of professionals involved with caring for the elderly living in Florida.
