Health promotion and disease prevention efforts have been expanded to include attention to the aging population.  With increased longevity and population aging, new concerns are raised about the quality of American's longer lives.  The Program on Healthy Aging addresses research and practice issues at the nexus of aging and health promotion.

Program faculty are engaged in a variety of research and community projects aimed at promoting health, preventing disease, and postponing disabilities among our aging population.  They represent a broad array of disciplines including:  medicine, nursing, law, architecture, family development, nutrition, behavioral sciences, community development, health administration and policy, rural and public health.
