To Enhance Quality of Life for NYC’s Underserved Elderly DPT Students “ViBE”

DPT Faculty at Touro School of Health Sciences Create ViBE Initiative to Promote Independence for Older Adults While Providing Invaluable Training for Students

While New York City’s 65-plus population has grown over 30% in the last decade, there remains a lack of necessary services available to the underserved elderly. To address this problem, a new research and educational initiative called the “Vision and Balance Education Initiative (ViBE)" has been launched by Touro School of Health Sciences Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Assistant Professor and Geriatric Board-Certified Physical Therapist, Dr. Leah Verebes, and Assistant Professor, Research Coordinator and Vision Scientist, Alla Chavarga.
