A publication of the University of Utah Center on Aging
Special Guest From Japan
On November 26, 2013 the Center on Aging was pleased to welcome Professor Nanako Tamiya, director of Health Service Research (HSR) at the University of Tsukuba, Japan. Dr. Tamiya is a co-investigator on a COA Pilot grant with Akiko Kamamura, and is working with her University organization to form a new "Center for Aging and Health Services Research". Her purpose in visiting the University of Utah was to learn more about our Center on Aging in order to help serve as a model as they build their Center.

About our Logo
The bristlecone pine tree (Pinus longaeva) - the earth’s oldest inhabitant with a
life span of almost 5,000 years - is found only in Utah and five other western states.
Its extraordinary longevity and ability to adapt and survive in extremely harsh environmental
conditions above 10,000 feet embodies the investigative spirit and mission of the
Utah Center on Aging.Best,
Mark A. Supiano, MD
Executive Director - Center on Aging
