AGING SMART

The Centre was created in 2004 and originally named the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility. After restructuring, faculty of the Centre for Aging SMART are located at two sites within VCH: Robert Ho Research Centre on the Vancouver General Hospital Campus and the Rehabilitation Research Program at the GF Strong Rehab Centre... Our interdisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, students, staff and community partners, work together to evaluate, implement, and disseminate solutions to some of our health care system's most pressing and expensive problems. Our researchers develop and test innovative treatments to improve the lives of older adults or people living with a disability. These treatments include exercise prescriptions, surgical innovations, chronic disease management, pharmacological regimes, assistive technology and sensor technologies... The Centre for Aging SMART is excited to partner with the CIHR Institute for Aging to host the Summer Program in Aging in June 2024
