Center for Successful Aging Endowment: Rising to meet the needs of older adult patients
The Center for Successful Aging at MedStar Montgomery Medical Center is revolutionizing elder care with a groundbreaking approach that puts the whole person at the forefront. As Maryland experiences one of the fastest growth rates in its elderly population, the Center for Successful Aging is stepping up to meet this incredible challenge. By 2040, Montgomery County’s 65+ population is set to more than double, soaring from 120,000 to over 250,000—many facing complex medical needs that require innovative solutions.
At the Center for Successful Aging, we provide an exceptional array of geriatric services tailored specifically for older adults. Our innovative care encompasses comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, connecting individuals with vital services and resources, and offering robust social and emotional support alongside dedicated caregiver assistance. Everything is conveniently housed under one roof, from consultations and outpatient services to a high-intensity outpatient unit. Our team of specially trained clinicians is committed to delivering a seamless, integrated care experience designed to meet the unique needs of older adult patients.
Vital philanthropic support was instrumental in launching the Center for Successful Aging, and we’re delighted to have established an endowment that will secure its future and enhance our ability to serve this patient population.
The Endowment goals
The Center for Successful Aging Endowment represents a significant milestone in our dedication to providing exceptional care for the aging population in our community. This enduring financial fund ensures sustained support for vital programs and services, allowing us to offer comprehensive, specialized care to our patients for generations to come.
As the first endowment at MedStar Montgomery, it sets a powerful precedent for philanthropic support that directly benefits older adults and enhances our capacity to meet their unique healthcare needs.
Our gratitude to Kathryn Lindquist

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Kathryn Lindquist for founding the Endowment for the Center for Successful Aging. Her vision and support are pivotal in ensuring that our elderly population receives the comprehensive, specialized care they deserve.
The Center for Successful Aging relies on philanthropy to bridge funding gaps and enhance the quality of care we provide. While Medicare and Medicaid are essential resources, they often fall short in covering the full spectrum of needs for older adult patients with complex health care needs. With the support of generous benefactors like Kathryn, we can continue to transform lives and provide the highest standard of care for our seniors.
