Center for Long-Term Care Hosts Colloquium on Aging
 While everyone may not like it, it is a fact of life -- aging. The Center for Long-Term Care (CLTC) in the School of Health Sciences and Practice addressed the issue at the colloquium "Aging in Place: Multidisciplinary Perspectives," hosted on October 15. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines aging in place as "the ability to live in one's own home and community safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level." "In one way or another," said Kenneth A. Knapp, Ph.D., co-director of the Center for Long-Term Care and assistant professor of health policy and management, "the colloquium presentations touched upon one or more aspects of this definition." View the CLTC Colloquium photo gallery.
A video of the day's events will be available on the events page of the CLTC website.
