The Sealy Center on Aging at UTMB Health: Leading Aging Research Since 1995

The “Physical Rehabilitation for Older Patients with Acute Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (REHAB-HFpEF)” trial at UTMB is being conducted with qualified patients admitted to UTMB Clear Lake or Galveston hospitals.This study examines whether a new type of physical rehabilitation can help improve health outcomes for patients with heart failure.

The Sealy Center on Aging hosted an aging retreat on February 5, 2025 at Open Gates. Leaders from across the university were invited to attend. The goal of the retreat was to set priorities for research, discover new opportunities for collaboration, and highlight the exceptional work that has been done throughout the history of the center. Thanks to all attendees.
