At the University of Minnesota, our community of leaders in aging science, practice, and policy are advancing initiatives that enhance the quality of life for older adults.
For example, the Minnesota Northstar Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (MN Northstar GWEP) provides interdisciplinary education and training designed to address the complex needs of our aging population, while our Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism is discovering ways to therapeutically target aging. Our focus on enhancing geriatric care is particularly impactful in rural and underserved areas to ensure that all older adults receive the high-quality care they deserve.
Through resources like these toolkits, we support health care providers and learners in delivering tailored, evidence-based care to diverse aging populations. A repository of educational resources is also available for anyone interested in improving care for older adults.
On June 24, we will celebrate the third annual Age-Friendly University Day. This hybrid event is open to all and promises to bring lively speakers and engaging conversations on aging and social connections.
Together, we have made significant strides in advancing healthy aging here in Minnesota and beyond. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to making our University a leader in age-friendly education and care.
