Abstract

With its long commitment to addressing ageism in healthcare, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) began addressing the intersection of racism and ageism in 2020. An AGS writing group developed five priorities that tap into our shared values as individuals and as an organization, while remaining broad enough to allow for future flexibility, growth, and opportunities. AGS members then participated in focus groups to identify an initial set of strategies that individuals, our Society, and our partners can adopt together to achieve these priorities. The AGS has also taken some smaller steps as we work to infuse attention to equity and eliminating bias across our portfolio.
