The American Aging Association (AGE) is a national not-for-profit organization whose aims are:

  • To promote biomedical aging studies directed towards increasing the functional life span of humans with one goal being to slow the aging process.

  • To keep the public informed of the progress of aging research and of  practical means of achieving a long and healthy life.

  • To increase knowledge of gerontology among physicians and others in the health fields.

    Your donation will support these aims.  Donations are invited for the General Fund, the James A. Joseph Memorial Fund or the Mark A. Smith Memorial Fund.  Thank you.
