Harvey A. Friedman Center for Aging
Nancy Morrow-Howell, Co-Director
Betty Bofinger Brown Distinguished Professor of Social Policy
Brian D. Carpenter, Co-Director
Founded in 1998, the Harvey A. Friedman Center for Aging works to advance a global society where people of all ages have maximum opportunity for health, security and engagement. The global population ages 65 and older is growing faster than all other age groups. Affecting nearly all sectors of society, population aging is one of the most significant social transformations of the twenty-first century. We expand education on issues relevant to individual and population aging; engage a diverse network of researchers in dialogue, lectures, learning groups and funding collaborations; and we are committed to supporting aging initiatives throughout St. Louis and Around the World.
