About Us

The Center for Medicines & Healthy Aging (CMHA) is the premier authoritative consumer-oriented Web site whose purpose is to educate older adults and caregivers about principles and practices associated with safe and appropriate use of medicines in older adults. Although a number of Web sites provide general drug information, this site is intended to provide practical, unbiased information focused on medicine use in older adults, including the potential impact of combinations of multiple medicines, the importance of adherence to medication regimens, and other issues. CMHA's unique focal point of information, materials, and interactive tools will enable better self-care management and lead to longer, healthier lives.
