Organizer of Abundant Aging Through the End of Life
The mission of United Church Homes is to “transform Aging by building a culture of community, wholeness and peace.” The Center for Abundant Aging seeks to bring together current theory and practice in the fields of gerontology, geriatrics, spirituality and aging, healthcare, housing and public policy within the context of the wide variety of professional fields upon which each of the communities of United Church Homes depend. The Center is to help provide a forum for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration that promotes innovation, advancement of knowledge, and improvement of the quality of life for elders through advocacy, education, engagement, and outreach.
Named in honor of Ruth Frost Parker, a former member of the UCH Board of Directors, the Center for Abundant Aging seeks to build on her vision and generosity which continues to inspire and impact so many.
