We’re delighted to celebrate the launch of the Women's Age Lab, the first and only centre of its kind dedicated to addressing the unique health needs of older women! Dr. Paula Rochon, the founding director, will direct the Lab's focus on gendered ageism, reimaging aging in place and congregate care, optimizing therapies, and promoting social connectedness. The Women's Age Lab's primary objective is to better understand and raise awareness of the specific and unique health needs of older women, which are too often overlooked by our health system. Using a sex/gender and age lens in new research will help to support not only older women, but all members of society. Learn more about the Age Lab here: bit.ly/3B4omii
