Our People
Administratively located in the UCSF School of Nursing, the Institute for Health & Aging's (IHA) original mission was to “foster multidisciplinary, collaborative research, education and public service in the field of health and aging.” Within these three realms, the Institute has expanded its research interests to encompass more broadly issues of health, illness, social and economic policies, and health disparities and health equity that impact the aging process and populations across the life span, given that the health status and concerns relevant for older populations have their seeds earlier in the life course. Expanding the scope of our work under the rubric of “health” has allowed us to focus our research and public service efforts more powerfully on the promotion of health and prevention of disease in old age.
