  • Aging

NYC Department for the Aging (DFTA) database of Geriatric Mental Health Providers provides Listing of DFTA Geriatric Mental Health Contracts Information and Hours of Operation.

The American Geriatrics Society Data Center has distributions and projections of geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists for populations aged 75 and older (2012). This ever-increasing aging population requires more geriatric specialists, but currently, only about 7 percent of providers specialize.  AGS data shows where they are and how many more are needed to address the growing need.
