FROM THE ORGANIZERS
14th Alliance for Healthy Aging Conference, 2025
We invite you to join us for the 14th Annual Alliance for Healthy Aging Conference on March 21-23, 2025, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. This year the Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging at Mayo Clinic is organizing and hosting the Alliance Meeting.
The Robert and Arlene Kogod Center on Aging brings together clinicians and scientists from all departments across the Mayo Clinic enterprise in a unique collaboration that leads to innovative ways of studying aging. The Center aims to broaden and deepen discovery science into fundamental aging processes with the potential to be therapeutically targeted to transform human health. It facilitates translational initiatives using model systems to inform the potential impact of biological mechanisms and novel therapies on human health. Additionally, it conducts disruptive, first-in-human clinical trials and develops evidence-based, effective, and goal-concordant therapies and care models to improve the health, functional status, and quality of life of older adults and their caregivers.
The mission of the Kogod Center on Aging includes developing strategic alliances with basic science departments, complementary centers, and external partners with advanced platforms and technologies. It provides investigators with key resources and technologies for state-of-the-art molecular and behavioral phenotyping. The Center also supports AI/technology-enabled care delivery and clinical decision-making initiatives and conducts rigorous epidemiologic, health care delivery, patient-centered outcomes, and health policy research to improve health and quality of life, reduce the burden of treatment, bolster the caregiver workforce, and eliminate health disparities among underserved populations.
The ultimate goal of the Kogod Center on Aging is to achieve a longer and healthier life by targeting fundamental aging processes and enhancing healthspan.
