As a community-based researcher and critical gerontologist, Stephanie is leading the creation of a national collaborative at WCH, leveraging her expertise in health equity to develop a research program focused on creating sustainable and equitable strategies to support older people, and, in particular, in the face of a changing climate. Stephanie’s research program has the potential to improve the quality of life for older adults by addressing systemic barriers and by evaluating community-based interventions that can be integrated into public health systems for the long term. By finding meaningful and sustainable ways to provide everyone with the resources and support needed to thrive, Stephanie’s research will advance health equity and improve the well-being of all Canadians, especially older women.
