Since its inception in 2012, the ACC Geriatric Cardiology Section quickly gained momentum and now has over 1,000 members and well over 300 Fellows-in-Training (FITs), making it one of the larger member special interest sections of the College.

The mission of the Geriatric Cardiology Member Section Leadership Council and Member Section is to provide a professional home for members with competencies in care of older adults with cardiovascular disease, as well those interested in advancing these skills.

This is aligned with the mission of the American College of Cardiology in transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health for older adults.

The Geriatric Cardiology Section Leadership Council (GCSLC) guides the course of the Geriatric Cardiology Section and advises the leadership of the ACC on the evolving dimensions of aging in the context of providing patient-centered care for the rapidly expanding population of older adults with, or at risk for, cardiovascular disease.
