2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Aging and Health: Thirty Year History
1982-2012 All of the Hartford-funded programs in Aging and Health are intended to function individually but also as an integrated whole to work toward improving the ability of health care professionals and the health care system to deliver high quality care to older adults. By the early 1990s, the grants focused on two main areas:
1) academic geriatrics and training through faculty development and curricular change; and
2) innovation in the provision of services for older adults.
Lessons learned from one round of grantmaking often influenced next stages and other grants.
The Foundation developed partnerships with other funders and fostered leadership among grantees to achieve success.

“The contribution of the Hartford Foundation in putting geriatrics and gerontology on the map has been monumental. It is emblematic of what foundations should be doing in the sense of changing the field for the benefit of older Americans” Claire M. Fagin, PhD, RNFormer Dean
