About the Center

 Strategic Areas

The Center for Gerontology emphasizes Healthy Communities, Healthy Lifestyles and Healthy Ages in its three strategic goals:

• Prepare new generations of aging advocates to work with older adults, their families and their communities.

• Contribute to new knowledge on aging populations, cohorts and communities in Kentucky and the southeast through the conduct of applied aging research.

• Enhance local capacity for older adults and the communities in which they live through the dissemination of community based research, best practices and sponsorship of programmatic activities.
