The team at the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year! Per tradition, this year’s annual holiday party included a White Elephant gift exchange, with Ugly Sweaters as the recommended attire. We look forward to more fun events in the new year! Importantly, we are excited to continue to advance our mission to optimize the health and well-being of older adults, and meet the needs and goals of a diverse aging population, through innovative research, leadership, education, and service. Happy holidays to all!
