Articles on Aging

Reaching out to older adults and families

This section contains aging related articles written by Center on Aging staff and of experienced older adult writers. Please feel free to reprint these articles. We would appreciate it if you would list the Center on Aging, University of Kansas Medical Center as the source.

The Center on Aging has formed a partnership with the Kansas Senior Press Service (KSPS). With the assistance of the Kansas Department on Aging (KDOA), articles are sent to hundreds of Kansas papers through this service. Oftentimes, the articles are picked up by newspapers around the region and nation.

These stories come both from senior adults, writing as laymen to a peer audience, and from healthcare professionals and other experts educating older adults and their caretakers. The Center on Aging is pleased to support this valuable medium both financially and through this website. Look for the KSPS logo at the end of the article.
