Located in the School of Aging Studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa Bay, the Florida Policy Exchange Center on Aging (FPECA) provides relevant, high-quality research and policy analysis to public officials, program administrators, and other stakeholders concerned with the health and well-being of older adults.
Dr. Kathryn Hyer, professor and director of FPECA and a fellow of The Gerontological Society of America, was a facilitative consultant to the Age-Friendly Sarasota initiative during the initial years.
