CHAP or Chinese Health, Aging, and Policy Program, Rush Institute for Healthy Aging, is dedicated to improving the quality of life of the Chinese aging population through education, research, and sustainable community-engagement in the greater Chicago area and beyond. We aim to foster and support the development of research programs across a broad spectrum of disciplines that will provide solutions to the problems associated with aging at the level of the individual, the community, and the population. Special emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary efforts that harness the resources available in the Chinese community centers and Rush University Medical Center. The goal of this community-academic partnership is to reciprocally transfer expertise between community and academic institutions, in order to synergistically improve the health and well-being of Chinese aging population.

The Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse and Neglect at the UC Irvine School of Medicine, Program in Geriatrics, is committed to eliminating the mistreatment of our community's elders.
