Improving Quality of Life for Seniors

Research focused on improving the lives of the senior population.

Our Mission

The Rhonda Eldridge Center for Healthy Aging aims to positively influence the senior care community by developing easy to implement, evidence-based best practices. With these scientifically proven methods, we believe our seniors will achieve better outcomes. With better outcomes comes a better quality of life. When a better quality of life is achieved, we believe the entire community benefits.

Current Research

Criteria for Optimized Senior Medication Outcomes (COSMO)

Drugs and best practices are evaluated by a committee of local experts. This committee consists of physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. Clinical expertise and input is also sought from many other local physicians who are not committee members. The formulary, pre-service authorization parameters, and related procedures are updated as needed when new information becomes available. Click here to learn more about COSMO.
