Conference to Explore Connections between Religion, Community and Health Care for the Aging

Friday, February 9, 2001

The first " Faith in the Future: Religion, Aging and Health Care in the 21 Century" conference will be held March 4 and 5 at the Reynolds Auditorium in the Bryan Center. Participants will hear from a distinguished faculty of experts who will examine the current and future of health in the population over 65 years of age and the demands for health care as the population continues to age. Solutions for providing care for the elderly by making full use of community resources, such as municipal and religious organizations, the theological position on health care of the aging and others in need and the importance of the relationship between health and religion in later life will also be discussed. "Faith in the Future" is jointly sponsored by the Duke University School of Medicine Office of Continuing Medical Education, Duke Center for the Study of Aging & Human Development, Duke Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, the Gerontological Society of America, and the John Templeton Foundation. The deadline for registration is Feb. 16. The cost is $150 for non-physicians, $250 for physicians. For more information, call 1-888-371-6715.
