FRONTIERS IN THE AGING PROCESS
Hebrew SeniorLife’s 2009 Palm Beach dinner at The Breakers, chaired by local residents and long time Hebrew SeniorLife Board leaders Mark and Diane Goldman, took a fresh look at Frontiers in Aging Research, initiatives the nationally renowned geriatric research, teaching, housing and healthcare organization is engaged in.
Its Institute for Aging Research (IFAR), which attracts more than $40 million in National Institute of Health support, touches the lives of countless older Americans from coast to coast, whether they live independently in communities, in assisted living residences, in long-term care facilities or in hospitals. Hebrew SeniorLife is a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School.
Lewis A. Lipsitz, M.D., IFAR Co-director, Irving and Edyth S. Usen and Family Chair in Medical Research and a Harvard Medical School (HMS) professor introduced the special guests: Marian T. Hannan, D.Sc, M.P.H., IFAR’s co-director of Musculoskeletal Research and a HMS associate professor of medicine presented The Sea: Swimming with the Fishes: How Activity and Nutrition Help Beat Arthritis, her work on arthritis and activities that lead to good health and less painful living.
David Karasik, PhD, IFAR’s Director of Genetic Epidemiology, HMS assistant professor of medicine, presented Secrets of Your Inner Methuselah Gene, his work on the genetic coding and implications of research on Ashkenazi seniors.
Douglas P. Kiel, M.D., M.P.H., IFAR’s Director of Medical Research presented The Sun: Shake and Bake, an overview on osteoporosis, fall, fractures, Vitamin D and bone density.
The Institute for Aging Research, which integrates social and medical research work, is the largest provider-based research facility in the country.
In the last 15 years, it has developed an international reputation for excellence in interdisciplinary research in aging. It conducts rigorous clinical investigations into common, but understudied disabling geriatric syndromes and readily applies the findings to the care of older patients.
IFAR’s major research programs focus on four broad areas: brain, bone, cardiovascular, and health care quality. IFAR’s work paved the way for the development of supportive housing communities by demonstrating that many seniors waiting for a long-term care bed could be better served by a new model of community-based care in congregate housing.
Hebrew SeniorLife’s Jack Satter House in Revere, MA, Simon C. Fireman Community in Randolph, MA, Center Communities of Brookline in Brookline, MA, and Orchard Cove, in Canton, MA are all products of that research.
Hebrew SeniorLife’s newest facility on the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Campus in Dedham, MA, NewBridge on the Charles, will reflect the latest research findings, making it the most innovative senior housing and healthcare continuum in the country.
