💭 Do you know an older adult who may be interested in participating in social connection phone calls with CU Anschutz health profession students?

COAST-IT (Connecting Older Adults to Students Through Interprofessional Care) is an an outreach program where students from either the CU Anschutz School of Medicine, Skaggs School of Pharmacy, College of Nursing and School of Dental Medicine programs will pair with a community older adult to have weekly to bi-monthly social phone calls with each other to build a connection of mentorship.

This is a great opportunity for connection -- where someone can share life experiences, offer mentorship, and build a rewarding intergenerational relationship with students during their journey of becoming future clinicians! Check out UCHealth's recent feature of this special program 🌟⤵
