Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring staff from the Centre for Education and Research on Aging & Health (CERAH) at Lakehead University! CERAH is recognized for its innovative approach to research and education. This panel discussion will explore how CERAH’s four divisions—Palliative Care, Dementia & Seniors’ Mental Health, Indigenous Peoples’ Health & Aging, and Aging in Place—contribute to knowledge translation and community impact. Panelists will highlight key projects, including community-based research, student engagement, and partnerships that support local and national initiatives. Topics include the evolution of Indigenous palliative care education, the role of students in advancing research, and the Centre’s regional and national reach. Attendees will gain insight into how CERAH continues to evolve, fostering collaboration, supporting health care providers, and expanding research to address aging and health needs in Northwestern Ontario and beyond.
