Center for Healthy Aging
We are a catalyst for interdisciplinary research and evidence-based outreach and education about healthy aging. As a community-engaged center, we aim to be a premier local, regional, and nationally-recognized resource for discovery and application of research on biological, cognitive, psychological, social, and behavioral factors that lead to healthy and successful aging.
Please contact Ali Murphy to set up meetings, calls, or room reservations and for events or outreach inquiries. For questions relating to operations, HR, finance, or grant support, contact Annette Foster. And for any overarching research, planning, development, or service-related requests, contact Nicole Ehrhart (Director).
THE CENTER FOR HEALTHY AGING WILL BE CLOSED FOR FALL BREAK FROM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25 – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2024.
