The Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology is proud to announce that it was one of three programs in the country to become a newly designated John A. Hartford Foundation Center of Excellence in Geriatrics. This prestigious award will provide funding to better train future academic leaders in geriatric medicine. Program support will also be used to build research capacity within the Division, as well as age-related research capacity throughout the Weill Cornell Medical College.

The Hartford Foundation is the country's largest private funder devoted exclusively to aging and health, and supports academic training programs in geriatric medicine, nursing and social work. Since 1997, the Hartford Foundation has invested more than $25.5 million in Centers of Excellence (CoEs) to create medical school faculty capable of teaching future physicians how to provide good care to their elderly patients. There are currently 24 active centers in geriatric medicine and geriatric psychiatry. More information about the Hartford Foundation can be found at
