Our Mission
We discover possibilities for supporting adults and their family caregivers who are navigating serious illness, end of life, and bereavement . We learn through surveys, focus groups, story-sharing sessions, and clinical trials.
We collaborate with people with lived experience and community partners so that their hopes, needs, and interests guide all parts of our research.
We provide training opportunities to a next generation of researchers and public health workers.
What We Do
Aging in Georgia
Our research addresses the heart of aging and care in Atlanta, Georgia and across the country.
We work through Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing.
Why We Research
Nearly half of adults aged 55-75
have provided care for someone with a serious illness or disability. Most report strain, exhaustion, and uncertainty during caregiving.
Stories from caregiving shape caregivers’ health, goals, and adjustment to new challenges.
