Geroscience is a worthwhile endeavor which holds lots of promise for improving the lives of older adults in the future. In the meantime we need to work with the tools we have now to promote Healthy Aging. ⁦@AmerGeriatrics⁩ ⁦@HealthInAging⁩ https://t.co/thDqnLB4cT

@nlundebjerg @AGSJournal @AmerGeriatrics Let’s start by asking older adults what they want and need, followed by geriatrics input on how to customize AWVs to meet the wants and needs of the older adults receiving them. #thisisgeriatrics #healthyaging

Nurses, physicians, pharmacists, dentists, students, residents, fellows, clinicians, educators, researchers, policy wonks, AGS staff and lots more. #AGS21 is wonderful.

The Fellows-in-Training session at this years AGS conference #AGS21 was inspiring. Also wonderful poster presentations from fellows. Check them out. The future of geriatrics is in good hands.

Two of my #geriatrics superheroes were honored with the Jahnigen award at the #AGS21 Awards ceremony -- John Murphy (our 2020 awardee,https://t.co/naSRYg2Nwv) and @hfernandez01 (our 2021 awardee, https://t.co/wNtOcTWmxh). #AGS21 #thisisgeriatrics #geriatrics

Wow. The audio posters at this years AGS #AGS21 meeting are awesome. I am not sure that this format for presenting posters would have happened if the meeting was occurring as usual. Need to use this going forward.

Great choice.

I’m with Joe.

https://t.co/jONmkaD14o This report highlights the impact of an aging US population on a projected shortage of physicians. Geriatrics training is not addressed!! The AAMC needs to explicitly state the importance of geriatrics in meeting the future healthcare needs of the US.

[Patrick P Coll @PatrickColl1]

https://t.co/I5t99ue5Il. This finally makes sense. I only wish that CMS had come out with the “Phase 1” requirements at the beginning of March. Each state DPH should use this to develop similar requirements for assisted living.

Not just statistics. Real people, real lives. We could have done more to protect them. We should be doing more now to protect others just like them.

@AmerGeriatrics Congratulations everyone. I wish that we were all together to celebrate your amazing achievements.
