With its long commitment to addressing ageism in healthcare, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) began addressing the intersection of racism and ageism in 2020. An AGS writing group developed five priorities that tap into our shared values as individuals and as an organization, while remaining broad enough to allow for future flexibility, growth, and opportunities. AGS members then participated in focus groups to identify an initial set of strategies that individuals, our Society, and our partners can adopt together to achieve these priorities. The AGS has also taken some smaller steps as we work to infuse attention to equity and eliminating bias across our portfolio.
美国老年医学会（AGS）长期致力于解决医疗保健中的年龄歧视问题，于 2020 年开始解决种族主义和年龄歧视的交叉问题。AGS 写作小组制定了五项优先事项，这些事项既体现了我们个人和组织的共同价值观，又具有足够的灵活性、成长性和开放性，以适应未来的发展。AGS 成员随后参加了焦点小组会议，确定了个人、我们的学会以及我们的合作伙伴可以共同采取的一系列初始策略，以实现这些优先事项。AGS 还采取了一些较小的步骤，努力在我们的整个工作中关注公平和平等，消除偏见。
