Join the Movement for Better Care

Help transform care for older adults by joining the AHA’s Age-Friendly Health Systems Action Community — part of a national initiative advancing safe, evidence-based care that aligns with what matters most to older adults.

More than 5,000 care sites — from hospitals to long-term care — have already been recognized as "age friendly.” Now it’s your turn.

Spots are limited — secure your place today!

Why Join the Action Community?

  • Optimize existing resources to improve care.

  • Stay ahead of the curve in a shifting health care landscape.
  • Earn national recognition as an Age-Friendly Health System.

What to Expect

Starting September 2025, this free, seven-month virtual program brings together care teams across settings to test the 4Ms Framework, share insights and drive real change — all with expert support from the AHA, John A. Harford Foundation and Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
