José Augusto García Navarro

I am a medical specialist in geriatrics and currently I am the president of the Spanish Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology.
I have more than 20 years of experience in the management of public centers of primary health care, acute hospitals and intermediate care hospitals. I also have experience in the management of social centers for the care of elderly people with dependency.
I am a teacher in several public Spanish universities on the management of health and social services for the elderly.
I am part of the management board of the Catalan public health system and of several advisory councils for the formulation of policies for the care of elderly people, both in the health and social fields.

I am interested in the research on long-term care policies for older people with dependency, with a special focus on the processes of deinstitutionalization and the enhancement of home-based and community-based models.
