Welcome to the first issue of the Gerontological Health Section Newsletter for 2008.  This year you will see some changes.  In addition to our usual posting of job and grant announcements, department profiles, and Section business items, we plan to appoint a few subeditors to develop content area for the Newsletter. Subeditors will take on a particular theme, such minority aging or immunization, for example, and solicit short articles for the Newsletter.  The Newsletter is a great resource, and we need to use it well.

I wish you well for the new year.
