New center dedicated to better aging

The Yale School of Nursing has launched the Center for Aging Well, a new global hub for research and clinical innovation dedicated to better health and thriving at every age. The center reflects YSN’s vision of nursing as a driving force in advancing wellness, prevention, and health equity. By merging nursing science, technology, and global collaboration, it will pioneer new approaches to whole-person care and redefine what it means to age well for everyone, in every community.

Strengthening global partnerships across East Asia

Dean Azita Emami recently returned from a sponsored multi-country trip to East Asia aimed at expanding YSN’s global presence and collaborations. During her travels, she served as a keynote speaker at several international conferences in China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, highlighting the essential role of nurses as global health leaders. The visit included meetings with major universities, including Yonsei University College of Nursing, Central South University, Hong Kong University, and National Taiwan University, to advance student and faculty exchanges, research partnerships, and planetary health initiatives. The trip deepened YSN’s connections with alumni and global partners, reinforcing the school’s leadership in shaping the future of nursing education and wellness worldwide.
