Center for Vital Longevity

Center for Vital Longevity
Within the next five years, one in every five Americans will be 65 or older. As that number grows, so will the number of people facing age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, and other forms of dementia. The Center for Vital Longevity is dedicated to understanding who is most at risk and finding ways to prevent or slow cognitive impairment before it takes hold.

This Comets Giving Day, your gift to the Denise C. Park Research Excellence and Innovation Fund supports the graduate students and postdoctoral fellows doing that work every day. Named for CVL's founder and a world-renowned expert on the aging mind, the fund honors Dr. Park's legacy by investing in the next generation of scientists who will carry this research forward.

Dr. Park spent her career supporting the next generation of scientists. Your gift does the same.
