Enhancing the Health and Quality of Life in Older Adults, Their Family, and Their Kin
Since 1978, the University Center on Aging and Health (UCAH) has served as an interdisciplinary point at Case Western Reserve University for building and maintaining excellence in gerontological and geriatric research, education, and practice.
UCAH's mission is to foster collaboration among its community of scholars, learners, and practitioners in order to encourage and coordinate innovative interdisciplinary research, education, and service programs relevant to the health and well-being of older adults.
State-of-the-art knowledge about the aging process and its implications for individuals, families, communities, and societies is advanced and disseminated throughout the community.
Graduate Certificate Program in Gerontology
The UCAH has developed a certificate program intended to help meet the academic and career needs of graduate students and employed professionals in a wide variety of disciplines.
Learn more about the Graduate Certificate Program in Gerontology.
The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing is a member of the organization.
The School's membership activities are managed through the University Center on Aging & Health with Diana Morris acting as the member' representative.
NHCGNE is a 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to enhance and sustain the capacity and competency of nurses to provide quality care to older adults.
