The Center for Healthy Aging
The CHA will work collaboratively with all the Health Sciences Schools and the Program in Public Health to develop and evaluate clinical and community programs that will be the basis for developing Interprofessional Education and interdisciplinary research projects. One area for collaboration is with the School of Social Welfare, which has done the groundwork for establishing a Center for Aging in Place in Suburbia that would convene residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, service providers, researchers and local government with the goal of assisting older adults and their caregivers on Long Island to remain living in the community from retirement to end of life.
