IMPARA Partnerships and Collaborations
Our mission is to promote the study of aging, in partnership with other institutions, agencies, and health and spiritual care providers in our region.
Collaboration with IMPARA offers many benefits
- Increase the body of knowledge about needs and solutions specific to our community in the area of aging
- Promote the flow of monies toward this area for research, training, and delivery of services
- Build the area's professional infrastructure by recruiting leading professionals to move and practice here, and training and retaining the next generation of care providers
- Provide community access to cutting-edge technologies and practices being developed elsewhere
- Achieve a "place at the table" in national policy discussions
Our current partners and collaborators
We are excited to be working with more than a dozen community partners and collaborators. IMPARA is interested in and actively pursuing new partnerships and collaborative projects within our community. If you are interested in working with us, please contact Judith Huober at 315-446-9111.
