What does it take to get a good night’s sleep? What can you do to stay safe while you’re mobile? How can you get your healthcare to focus on what matters most to you? These are questions that Yale researchers grapple with, and on January 21 we’ll have a chance to hear about what they’re learning. Join us for a panel discussion with four eminent faculty members from Yale: Dr. Leo Cooney, Professor of Geriatric Medicine; Dr. Mary Tinetti, Professor of Geriatric Medicine; Dr. James Lai, Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine; and Dr. Brienne Miner, Medical Instructor and Sleep Specialist. These engaging School of Medicine speakers will share their discoveries from the cutting edge of research, and they’ll be happy to answer questions from the audience.

A reception with refreshments will follow the panel. The reception will provide the opportunity for continued engagement with our esteemed guests.
