Marilyn Gugliucci speaks at event on healthy aging for the LGBT community

Marilyn Gugliucci

In the same ballroom where the Maine Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance held their first meeting 32 years ago, Marilyn Gugliucci, Ph.D., participated in an event providing valuable information for older adults in the LGBT community.

8 years to the date after the legislative testimony at the Augusta Civic Center on Marriage Equality, Gugliucci, of the division of geriatric medicine in the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Department of Primary Care, was an invited presenter to the SAGE Maine (Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders) Symposia on LGBT aging held in Augusta, Maine. 

Gugliucci’ s first presentation, “Granny’s Got Her Groove On,” was part of the session on Dating in the Third Act. She also participated as a panel member for the Healthy Aging Panel on “Creative Conscious Aging.”

Gugliucci was a founding board member of SAGE Maine and co-authored the LGBT Needs Assessment Research to get the organization started. She co-authored “The SAGE Maine Survey Report: Maine’s Health Practitioners Caring for Older GLBT Patients.”
