Vital Living: Community Collaboration

URMC’s strategic plan states that ‘Above all, we place our highest value on people’.

The Vital Living arm of the URAI focuses on the older adult themselves and the Rochester community. The URAI's focus on Vital Living is developing evidence-based evaluations and lifestyle interventions that promote vitality in aging and empower older adults to achieve healthful longevity, creating new community partnerships that optimize quality of life, engagement and health, with the ultimate goal of establishing Rochester as a model Age-Friendly University and Community.

We encourage and facilitate partnerships for research, interdisciplinary training, and care between URMC and community providers and agencies.
