UGS:
Providing a Resource
By the year 2020, Utah's older adult population is expected to
increase 102 percent
--a rate nearly 40 percent higher than the national average.
In
response to such growth,
the Utah Gerontological Society (UGS) was created to institute a
productive partnership between older adults, multi-discipline professionals,
educational institutions, students, government and businesses.
Now
boasting nearly 400 members in five states, the Utah Gerontological Society serves as a forum to
increase knowledge about the triumphs and challenges of the aging process.

Fulfilling
a Purpose
By bringing together individuals most
impacted by the "graying of America" the
Utah Gerontological Society strives to
meet the following goals and principles:
Encourage the
exchange of ideas and information and facilitate
collegial relationships among its members
Promote the dissemination of gerontological knowledge
Advance public knowledge on issues
related to aging
Help professionals establish a
standard of excellence to guide the activities
and services in the aging field
Serve as a networking resource for
people interested in or working with
the aging community
