Aging in the Americas

Aging in the Americas is an initiative involving research, training, and cross-cultural studies, with a focus on Latin America, which has the fastest growing aging population. The Aging in the Americas Conference, which was held September 18-20, 2003, brought together ministers of the health and several aging officials from over 15 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Assistant U.S. Secretary for Aging. The Honorable Josefina Carbonell, was the special guest of honor at the formal dinner that wrapped up the international meeting.
