The Marymount Center for Optimal Aging (MCOA) supports innovative research with a focus on academic-community partnerships. Through our partnerships, we strive to generate practical solutions to promote health, independence, and quality of life for older adults. The Center\u2019s interdisciplinary research focuses on maintaining physical function and quality of life, preventing disease, and developing rehabilitation strategies for the enhancement of cognitive and physical health.<\/p>\n

The Center is grounded on diverse and inclusive education and career development training for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate professionals. Our trainees are trained and mentored to participate in academic-to-community engagement projects with the goal to produce a qualified workforce to properly serve the needs of our increasing and diverse aging population.<\/p>\n
