Center Spotlight
Tetyana Shippee, PhD
CHAI recognizes and celebrates its Members, Community Partners, and Ambassadors monthly. This month, we feature Tetyana Shippee, PhD.
Dr. Tetyana P. Shippee is a tenured Professor in the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and serves as Associate Director for Research at the Center for Healthy Aging and Innovation. She spent two years living in a long-term care facility to better understand the factors that shape quality of life for older adults in residential care. She leads research focused on improving person-centered quality for older adults and people with disabilities, including those living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias who use long-term services and supports (LTSS).
