Public description

About the program

The John A. Hartford Foundation funds and drives the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement, which spreads an evidence-based 4Ms framework across hospitals, practices and long-term care settings through structured action communities. The foundation also funds an Age-Friendly Ecosystem strategy and the Aging and Disability Business Institute, and has partnered with The SCAN Foundation on innovation awards recognizing programs such as the UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Program. Its work supports provider organizations and intermediaries rather than venture-backed startups.
