We address the interplay of cognitive impairment and critical or chronic illnesses, seeking to determine best approaches for self-management and health promotion. We address the healthcare needs and wellness of refugee and immigrant populations. Ultimately, we aspire to generate new knowledge and rapidly disseminate this knowledge so that our aging and vulnerable populations can reap its benefits.
