The Geriatric Registered Nurses of the Greater Toledo Area was formed in 1967 by nurses, to provide education and support for those involved in the care of older adults. In 1978 the name of the group was changed to the Northwest Ohio Gerontological Association (NOGA). Today, members include many kinds of professionals, caregivers, seniors, educators, and others interested in field of aging. All work together for the purpose of networking, education, and advocacy improve the quality of life for older adults in northwest Ohio.
