Improving the aging experience for all.
The Gerontology Institute was established in 1984 by the Massachusetts legislature and then-Governor Michael Dukakis to serve as the research, policy, and public service component of the gerontology program at UMass Boston. Four centers located within the Institute bring special expertise to targeted areas: Pension Action Center; Osher Lifelong Learning Institute; Center for Social and Demographic Research on Aging; and LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston.
