 The Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at The Ohio State University Health Sciences Center serves as a focus for aging-related activities throughout the University and is the only formally recognized unit devoted to aging on campus. The overall mission of the Office is to foster through teaching, research and consultation the cost effective delivery of high quality health and social services to meet the needs of Ohio's older citizens. Through the Transdisciplinary Program in Aging the Office provides coordinated education, research, practice and service opportunities in geriatrics and gerontology while enhancing and supporting the initiatives of individual departments, schools and colleges. Through the development of this centralized unit responsible for clinical gerontology, the University's initiatives in aging are being reshaped to meet the demographic imperatives of our aging society.
