Our thanks to Dorothy Strang and CHPV's DEIA Team for their efforts on this initiative.

The Village to Village Network's Engaging Villages as Key Partners for Healthy Aging Research project hosted a series of six virtual summits in June and July of 2024. Approximately 400 people from across the United States and other countries attended.

 

The summits spurred national dialogue among Village leaders, participants, and partners on the future of collaborative research to examine the benefits of Villages for healthy aging. The summits were collaboratively organized by the project team in collaboration with the Villages Healthy Aging Research Ambassadors group. Summit content also built from findings of focus groups held with Villages in the fall prior.
