23 <br />Impact and Benefits <br />The impact and benefits from the research, training and service generated by a <br />Campus for Senior Wellness and Longevity will be enormous. Here is a brief listing: <br />1. Improve the quality of life and longevity for older persons in Orange <br />County, North Carolina. <br />2. Improve the quality of education and training of professionals in <br />gerontology within a community setting. The gerontological education and <br />training would focus on the older person and the aging process holistically- <br />from a "mind, body and spiritual perspective." This would include <br />partnerships with the faith community. <br />3. Reduce the workforce shortage of health professionals needed in <br />geriatrics. <br />4. Establish UNC as a national and international leader in geriatrics and <br />gerontology. <br />5. Attract research and development funds from federal sources, private <br />foundations and the business community. <br />6. Develop effective and efficient service delivery models that can be <br />replicated in North Carolina, as well as nationally and internationally. <br />7. Develop research, education and training models that can be replicated <br />on other UNC campuses. <br />8. Develop a university and community partnership to reduce <br />fragmentation of service delivery, which can be replicated across NC on a <br />university campus with allied health programs. <br />9. Expand the traditional medical model to reflect an inter-disciplinary <br />approach, which addresses the unmet needs of chronically ill patients, <br />resulting in lower Medicare/Medicaid costs and greater patient satisfaction. <br />Such a program could be a pilot project to replace the state Community <br />Alternatives Program (CAP). <br />10. Research, evaluate and develop holistic medical models that use <br />natural healing remedies and therapies to which older adults and the <br />general population are turning for relief of chronic conditions. <br />
