Providing a Resource

Promoting increased knowledge of the aging experience.

The Utah Gerontological Society (UGS) was created to institute a productive partnership between older adults, multi-discipline professionals, educational institutions, students, government and businesses. UGS serves as a forum to increase knowledge about the triumphs and challenges of the aging process.

The NEW UGS website is found at:

By the year 2020, Utah's older adult population is expected to increase 102 percent
--a rate nearly 40 percent higher than the national average. In response to such growth, 
the Utah Gerontological Society (UGS), now boasts nearly 400 members in five states.
