Go4Life® Physical Activity Campaign
The University of Arizona Center on Aging is proud to be a partner in the National Institute on Aging at NIH Go4Life® physical activity campaign. Go4Life® is an evidence-based health education and outreach campaign designed to help adults age 50 and older fit exercise and physical activity into their daily lives.
Research has shown that regular exercise and physical activity are important to the physical and mental health of almost everyone and can help older adults stay independent longer as they age.
Healthy Together Care Partnership (HTCP)
HTCP began in early 2013 as an interprofessional care team created within the University of Arizona Health Network (now the Banner – University Medicine Division of Banner Health) in collaboration with the University of Arizona Health Plans (UAHP), the UA Center on Aging and the UA Health Sciences colleges. The goal — to improve care for vulnerable UAHP dual Medicare/Medicaid eligible members who receive their primary care from a UAHN provider.
Patient Care
The Division of General Internal Medicine, Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine provides comprehensive general treatment for adults of all ages and specialized care for older adults and those suffering from serious health conditions.
Research
Aging is the quintessential interdisciplinary issue, cutting across basic sciences, cognitive, clinical/translational and health services research — invigorating and bridging research across the campus, across colleges and across the state. Remarkably, the aging process itself – what actually happens on the biochemical, genetic, cellular and physiologic levels remains largely unknown.
