Promoting healthy and meaningful aging...
We are delighted to announce the establishment of the university-wide Consortium on Aging. The Consortium on Aging allows us to leverage the existing strengths of the many schools and centers of UTHealth as we focus our efforts on addressing the health care needs of older adults. Our mission includes comprehensive care for older adults and their caregivers; education of future health care providers, the current workforce and the community at large; and research to expand our understanding of aging.
We invite your collaboration and look forward to your support in our efforts to promote healthy and meaningful aging.
