ACCORDS researchers were among the experts presenting on important topics at the September Symposium’s Geriatrics Conference.
The 20th Annual Rocky Mountain Geriatrics Conference & Community Research Symposium is a two-day event featuring presentations from medical experts, top researchers, and academic leaders in the field of geriatric care.
It is hosted in partnership with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center, alternating years with the University of Utah.
“I created the community research symposium because we were finding that the community was very intrigued by what we do here at Anschutz. They didn’t understand our research and how it connects to how we age,” says Jodi Waterhouse, MHA, director of strategic partnerships and programs for the Multidisciplinary Center on Aging at CU Anschutz.
“This is our year to host the conference, so we’ve combined them,” Waterhouse says. “Thursday is the Rocky Mountain Geriatric Conference, and Friday is community research focused.”
