The American Hospital Association and The John A. Hartford Foundation have launched the inaugural AHA Age-Friendly Healthcare Impact Award, recognizing hospitals and health systems that are advancing excellence in care for older adults through the 4Ms Framework — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.

This prestigious national award offers a unique opportunity for organizations to be recognized as among the first leaders shaping the future of age-friendly care and improving outcomes for adults 65 and older. Organizations selected for this honor will be recognized by peers and colleagues across the healthcare field for their dedication to high-quality, age-friendly care.
