Summer 2024
The "Engaging Villages as Key Partners for Healthy Aging Research" project hosted a series of six virtual summits during the summer of 2024 to spur national conversation on the future of healthy aging research with Villages.
​
Each summit engaged Villages in different geographic regions of the country to explore critical questions facing Villages as they seek to demonstrate their outcomes, cultivate partnerships with researchers, and grow the movement in the years to come. Summit insights will make a difference for next steps on using research as a tool to strengthen and sustain the Village Movement.
