The Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging is proud to partner with Providence Health Care to deliver the Dialogue on Aging Public Presentation Series. The Centre’s contribution to this series is led by our Co-Chairs for Community Engagement & Intersection, Dr. Eli Puterman and Dr. Julia Henderson. The series features distinguished speakers who present on broad topics in current aging research to share findings with the community. Our hope is that by sharing evidence and enabling dialogue we will help people live longer, healthier lives. Every 3 to 4 months, we deliver a new series of free presentations to the public on a specific theme. Each theme has an in-person lecture at a local and accessible Vancouver venue, as well as 2 to 3 virtual presentations. Free refreshments are provided at every in-person event! Scroll through our events calendar to find upcoming public presentations.
