The Registry is a list of people who have volunteered to take part in research studies on the health and well-being of older persons.

People of all ages are invited to become a Friend of the ACE Unit, the 20-bed Acute Care for the Elderly Unit on the 10th floor of John Sealy Hospital. Volunteers make a world of difference in the constellation of care for the elderly, especially to be present, to listen, read, and play games, music or other creative activities. Friends will be provided training, continuing education and Friends Celebrations in gratitude for their service.
