In 2012, SEFAS – the country's first Center for geriatric and nursing home medicine – was established by UiB, in collaboration with the GC Rieber Funds. The center's overall goal is to be a leader in research and teaching in nursing home medicine and in home-based treatment, as well as the implementation of research-based knowledge in the municipal health and care services. The center has local, national and international partners. Head of the center is Professor Bettina Husebø.
