"I am a geriatric pharmacotherapy specialist and aging brain researcher who appreciates the interprofessional relationships supported by IGS. Since IGS was incorporated, I have served in various leadership positions including president. Throughout my experience, IGS has highlighted the strength of geriatrics as a healthcare specialty. Like-minded professionals, especially those in non-traditional roles, join IGS to dialogue and ascertain best practices—a fundamental goal of IGS from its inception. My involvement in IGS demonstrates my commitment to high-quality care for older adults and to the advancement of healthcare."

American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Recognizes IGS
The Indiana Geriatrics Society (IGS) received the Council of State Affiliate Representatives (COSAR) Public Policy Grassroots Program Award for their work as a grassroots advocate for Indiana members and for past participation in AGS public policy initiatives. The award also recognized the potential for IGS to further AGS' legislative objectives with federal policy makers, willingness to travel to Washington, DC in order to meet with elected officials, and a commitment to maintain contact with members of congressional delegations and staff after hill visits are completed.
