Catherine Lucey, MD, Interim Director
The Office of Geriatrics and Gerontology at The Ohio State University is a focus for aging-related activities throughout the University and is the only formally recognized unit on campus that is devoted to aging. The mission of the Office is to foster - through teaching, research and
consultation - the cost-effective delivery of high-quality health and social services to meet the needs of older citizens. The Office provides coordinated education, research, practice and service opportunities in geriatrics and gerontology while enhancing and supporting the initiatives of individual departments, schools and colleges. Through this centralized unit for
clinical gerontology, the University’s initiatives in aging are being reshaped to meet the demographic imperatives of an aging society.
