The 2025 SLU Healthy Aging Conference

The one day Healthy Aging Conference is an overview of the most pressing and innovative geriatrics topics in the field. Presenters with backgrounds in healthcare, medicine, mental health, nursing, allied health, and other fields will share cutting edge knowledge around key topics in older adult care. Attendees will be able to use these skills in everyday practice in primary care, geriatrics clinics, and other community-based settings.

The conference will have three morning plenary talks on innovative topics such as new medications, the future of Medicare, and artificial intelligence and the role in aging. The afternoon talks will consist of a series of three tracks that attendees can choose from (clinical, research, innovations).

At the lunch hour of the conference, there will be a research poster session that attendees can view. Students, residents, and faculty will be submitting their research topics to display to conference attendees.

1. Describe the key health and medical topics that are impacting the overall quality of health for older adults.
2. Explore specific evidence-based strategies and non-pharmacological interventions for addressing health behaviors of older adults.
3. Develop effective ways for healthcare and community providers to find collaborations and partnerships to effective streamline complex geriatric cases.
