Welcome to the Center for Excellence in Aging and Lifelong Health, or CEALH. We are a not-for-profit organization located in Williamsburg, Virginia. Above all, the mission of the Center for Excellence in Aging and Lifelong Health is:

• to improve the quality of life for older adults by increasing autonomy and integrating the research capacity of universities, colleges and medical schools with the capabilities of local service providers.
• to develop and implement innovative community-based initiatives that can be replicated and sustained.

Our vision is a model community that promotes the well-being and independence of older adults through collaboration among research and service professionals.

With these ultimate goals in mind, CEALH has become an invaluable medical and emotional resource for countless aging adults and their families.

Support the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” by supporting the Center for Excellence in Aging Team "Total Recall".

The Center for Excellence in Aging and Lifelong Health, an Affiliate of Riverside Health System, recently celebrated its 10th anniversary by producing a brief video highlighting the Center’s services, programs, and impact on the larger community.

The video was released in late September 2012 when Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services Acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner was the invited speaker in Williamsburg addressing health reform and its impact on older adults. The event was co-sponsored by Riverside Health System and the College of William & Mary.

A clinical trial is a scientific study with the purpose of finding out how well new drugs, treatments, or medical devices work to treat a specific disease or condition. At CEALH, we closely supervise, monitor, and document the entire study, making it as safe as possible for participants.

We are currently seeking participants for the following clinical trials.
