The gift, made through the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Foundation, builds upon an affiliation between USF and Reliance Medical Centers. In 2019, Reliance Medical Centers founded the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Optimal Aging and Brain Health Research Fund in the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences and donated space and resources to build a local research presence. This collaboration aims to create a closer partnership between academia and primary care to promote optimal aging and potentially protect against mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, and related dementias.
The latest donation from Reliance extends across multiple schools and departments. It includes the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences' Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Social Work, and School of Aging Studies, in addition to the College of Nursing, Morsani College of Medicine, and the Taneja College of Pharmacy, to accelerate developments throughout every component of senior care.
