The evidence behind better care
I lead an NIH-funded research portfolio on how older adults — especially in underserved and community-based settings — actually receive care, and how to make it better.
The portfolio, in five strands
The flagship question
I lead an NIH-funded research program turning adult day centers into data-driven hubs for dementia and chronic-disease care.

11 of the 24 papers below come from this strand. The Associated Press covered the work in Adult Day Centers Offer Multicultural Hubs for Older People of Color (opens in a new tab).
Five questions
Plain English on the surface; the citation, the journal and the DOI one click beneath it. Twelve of these papers answer more than one question, so they appear under more than one heading — the strand counts sum to more than 24 for that reason, not because anything is counted twice.
