The Center for Healthy Aging encourages and assists community-based organizations serving older adults in developing and implementing evidence-based health promotion/ disease prevention programs.  We help community-based organizations develop and implement evidence-based programs that promote healthy lives for older adults.  The Center works with its partners to make sure that older adults have access to prevention programs that can make a noticeable difference in their health and well-being.

The Center accomplishes its mission by:

  • Providing tools and resources that help local, state, and regional organizations to implement and sustain evidence-based programs that promote healthy lives for older adults.
  • Generating and disseminating new knowledge about best practices and strategies for evidence-based health promotion.

Our Audience

The Center serves local, state, and national organizations that want to develop, implement, and evaluate evidence-based health programming for older adults. We also serve policymakers, government agencies, corporations, and private foundations by helping them identify and invest in innovative programming to improve the health of older adults.

The Center for Healthy Aging also serves as a resource center for the Administration on Aging's Evidence-Based Disease and Disability Prevention Grants Program and the Recovery Act Chronic Disease Self Management Program grant, as well as the Aging Services network and other services providers.  Learn more about the Center's work.
