Welcome to the web page of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Center for Aging. The UAB Center for Aging is an interdisciplinary community of nearly 200 faculty members. The Center promotes the health and well-being of older persons by conducting and promoting aging related research; training students and faculty to conduct research; educating students and professionals; and supporting community education and patient care programs.

Career development and education opportunities are offered to undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate trainees, health care professional students, and practitioners. These programs help prepare trainees and practitioners in multiple disciplines for research, education, or service careers related to gerontology and geriatrics. The Center for Aging offers AgeWell.com as an educational resource that provides information that will be useful to all members of the community.

The Center encourages and coordinates the activities of the multiple disciplines represented by the UAB schools of business, dentistry, education, engineering, health-related professions, medicine, natural sciences and mathematics, nursing, optometry, public health, and social and behavioral sciences to fulfill its mission.

Through the integration and coordination of these activities, the Center is adding years to life and life to years.
