The Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging

Overview

The Edwin S.H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging is an interdisciplinary group of faculty, trainees and staff at UBC who seek to harness the science of healthy again to help people remain healthy, happy and active longer into old age. The program was initiated by a generous donation from Dr. Edwin S.H. Leong and the Tai Hung Fai Charitable Foundation.

We collaborate to fund researchers whose work contributes to advancing healthy aging across British Columbia. Together, we've supported projects that explore the social, biological, and technological aspects of aging, including community-based initiatives with women living with HIV, strategies to build trust in health programs for ethnocultural communities, and research on aging-in-place from Indigenous perspectives.
