Our Center is dedicated to promoting population health and successful aging through innovations in research, education and practice that examine social, behavioral, economic, environmental, and technological solutions.
Under the leadership of founding director, Dr. Marcia Ory, the CPHA promotes successful aging through innovations in research, education and practice that examine social, behavioral, economic, environmental, and technological solutions linking academic and real-world settings.
Health promotion and disease prevention efforts are important across the entire life-course. With increased longevity and population aging, new concerns are raised about the quality of American's longer lives. It is never too late to promote healthy lifestyles, medical management, and supportive environment for older adults. Aging individuals and communities can benefit from systematic research about best practices.
