Mission Statement
Emory’s mission includes providing care for you and also researching how to provide even better care in the future. Data collected in the Emory Healthy Aging Study will help us understand, treat and perhaps find a cure for diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, and others.
Description
The Emory Healthy Aging Study is the largest clinical research study ever conducted in Atlanta. It is a game-changing effort to further our scientific understanding of how we age, and to identify predictive markers through cutting edge technologies that can predict diseases that occur more commonly in later years such as Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with integral recruitment efforts. This is an excellent opportunity for university students, current participants who are interested in sharing their experience and all other persons interested in contributing to the advancement of knowledge about the effects of aging.
