Our Research Mission:

One mission of the SAFE clinic is to learn more about the aging process so that our providers may best help older adults in the future. Thus, we ask all patients for permission to collect information about them to be used for research purposes. Of course, your care will not be affected by whether or not you give your consent to participate in a research study.

What to Bring:

Our assessment can take up to 90 minutes with one scheduled break. You are welcome to   bring any personal comfort items with you such as:

> snacks and reading materials

> If you use a cane or walker, please bring it with you
