The 32nd Maine Geriatrics Conference is scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, and Thursday, May 22, 2025, in Bar Harbor, ME, at the Harborside Hotel and Marina.
We provide a venue for health practitioners, social service providers, and others interested in the aging field to share ideas, ask questions, and develop or support care strategies affecting older adults in all care settings. This is our task and our mission.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all conference sessions will enlighten, inspire, and honor the abilities of our conference attendees. By the end of the conference, you will be better prepared to advance ideas and systems that address older adult health disparities and optimize aging.
Register today!
