Mission

The mission of the Live Oak GEC is to develop and provide quality training in geriatrics for community-based health care providers. Our focus is on health care providers that serve rural and urban underserved and minority elders, particularly across the Panhandle, the areas of Georgia & Alabama bordering the Panhandle, and near the regional campuses of FSU's College of Medicine in Orlando, Pensacola, and Tallahassee.

Participants

Live Oak GEC was established in 2007 by a collaborative effort of experts at Florida State University, Florida A&M University and the University of South Alabama led by the The FSU College of Medicine Department of Geriatrics.
