Toe importance of academic aff tliations to achievement of intergenerational program goals is addressed through a discussion of evaluation results that show positive effects on the well-being of FGP participants.

The value of involving older and younger generations in nursing education and nursing practice is highlighted through a discussion of Healthy People 2000 objectives.
