Bridging Research and Practice to Advance the Field of Aging

The Minnesota Gerontological Society (MGS) brings together a diverse, interdisciplinary community of professionals, housing experts, health care providers, educators, and students united by a shared passion for aging. Founded in 1976, we serve as a vital resource for continuing education, professional development, and networking among those dedicated to older adults. By bridging the gap between academic research and daily practice, we foster the meaningful collaborations needed to support the leaders of tomorrow and enhance services across Minnesota.
