With one in five Floridians aged 65 years or older, the elderly make up the largest group of patients being served by Florida hospitals. Over the past couple of years, a movement "Age Friendly Health Systems" started, which involves adoption of strategies and practices that focus on core health issues for older adults.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is interested in developing measures specific to how hospitals are serving the geriatric population and are considering adopting an Age Friendly designation for hospitals across the county.

The American Hospital Association (AHA), along with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, is leading efforts to support hospitals in becoming age friendly. will share more about Age Friendly and the AHA Action Community.  Those attending will also hear from an Age Friendly Hospital to learn what they have done and the impact it has had on their patients, their workforce and their community.
