Launch of Collaborative for Health and Aging website

The McMaster Collaborative for Health and Aging has recently launched their website: https://collaborative-aging.mcmaster.ca/.  

Nursing professor Dr. Maureen Markle-Reid is the scientific lead for the Collaborative. Dr. Rebecca Gannan is the Collaborative’s acting lead. Other School of Nursing faculty members are involved as researchers as well.  

The Collaborative is a coalition of researchers, trainees, and older adults and caregivers working together to strengthen patient-oriented research capacity and, ultimately, to improve the health and well-being of older adults in Canada. By meaningfully engaging older adults, caregivers, and public research partners in all activities, the Collaborative ensures that the needs, perspectives, values, and aspirations of older adult populations are reflected in its work.
