Promoting Preventive Health Care in the Community: The Healthy Aging Partnerships in Prevention Initiative

Add to calendar

​In this Sept. 22 seminar, Kathryn Kietzman, Center research scientist, and O. Kenrik Duru, assistant professor from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, present early findings from a new project to increase the use of clinical preventive services, such as flu shots and mammograms, among older residents of South Los Angeles. This is an innovative, interdisciplinary project that combines teams of UCLA researchers, community groups and health centers, the L.A. Department of Public Health, local aging resources, women's groups, and more and is part of a larger trend to provide preventative care now, rather than costly emergency care later.
