Help Mayo Clinic With Healthy Aging Focus Group

The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation has recently opened the Healthy Aging & Independent Living Lab (HAIL). The goal is to look for insights and opportunities to keep individuals healthy and allow them to remain independent. To gain a better understanding of needs beyond clinical conditions they often conduct interviews, focus groups, and observations.

Three focus groups are scheduled for Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 and active older adult participation is needed. Focus groups will be conducted at the UCare Skyway Center (950 Nicollet Mall, Suite 290, Minneapolis) and Mill City Clinic (Zenith Condominium Building on 901 S. Second St., Suite A, Minneapolis). Focus group times are 10:00-11:30 a.m., 1:00-2:00 p.m., and 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Each session will include 7 participants and will be led by a team from the Center for Innovation. A variety of topics will be discussed and HAIL will draw on your experiences to help gain insights as they move forward in developing the new lab.

If you have questions or would like to sign up to participate in a focus group, contact Rajiv Ramdeo at 650-814-2469 or rajiv.ramdeo@uci.edu. FREE PARKING. Refreshments and beverages will be served at each session.
