Welcome

The de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging honors Dr. Rheba de Tornyay, Dean Emeritus of the University of Washington School of Nursing, and her lifelong interest in healthy aging.

The Center serves as a catalyst for promoting healthy aging through its support of research and education in the field of gerontology for the School of Nursing, the University of Washington, and the broader community.

People are living longer and there is a growing awareness of the importance of enhancing these added years for older adults, their families, and friends. The de Tornyay Center for Healthy Aging is committed to advancing and sharing knowledge about successful aging and ways professionals and systems can support optimal experiences for older adults.
