Lab 02 · Nutrition & Mobility

USEF Nutrition & Musculoskeletal Health Lab

Working so that growing older in our community does not mean losing independence.

Our mission

This lab exists so that the elders of our community keep their strength, their mobility and their independence for as long as possible.

What a family is able to put on the table shapes what an older person’s body can still do. In our communities that connection is rarely studied and rarely acted on. This lab works to understand it and to build the kind of support that keeps people living on their own terms, in their own homes, surrounded by the people who love them.

It is a young lab, established in 2026 alongside the Center, and it is building its team now.
