Welcome to the UCSF Retirees Resource Page

As part of our commitment to our UCSF Retirees Association (UCSFRA) members, we partner with several campus and community groups that keep us informed, engaged, and active with UC, UCSF, and each other. We hope you will visit this page regularly to learn about new events and activities, along with viewing recordings and handouts of our virtual learning series programs.

Founded in 1975, the Institute on Aging (IOA) is one of California’s largest community-based nonprofit organizations providing comprehensive health, social, and psychological services for older adults and adults living with disabilities. IOA’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for adults as they age, by enabling them to maintain their health, well-being, independence, and participation in the community. Long considered one of the most innovative and diverse organizations of its kind, IOA touches the lives of more than 50,000 older adults and adults with living disabilities and their families each year through programs designed to alleviate isolation and enable seniors to continue living independently in the community.
