Carrie Graham, PhD, associate professor in the Institute for Health & Aging, has been selected as a Health and Aging Policy Fellow for 2018–2019. The Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program is designed to build a cadre of geriatric and gerontology professionals who can help shape a positive and healthy future for older Americans by contributing valuable science and practice knowledge to the health care policy arena as well as bringing greater awareness and sophistication in health policy to the clinical and scientific communities. Established in 2008, the Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program is made possible by the generous support from The John A. Hartford Foundation and The Atlantic Philanthropies.
Fellows were selected based on their commitment to health and aging issues, leadership potential, and interest in impacting policy. The program includes individuals from multiple disciplines, various work settings and at different career stages.
