of life as we age.

Dr. Katherine Thompson is an Associate Professor of Medicine at The
University of Chicago Medical Center and sees patients at the South Shore
Senior Health Center. In 2014, she founded the South Side Healthy Aging
Resource and Education (SHARE) Network to bring information and programs to communities that lack trained specialists to address the unique health needs of older residents, their families and caregivers. She also co-directs the University’s Successful Aging and Frailty Clinic and has collaborated on dozens of panels and scholarly articles. Her many honors include a University of Chicago Biological Science Division Distinguished faculty Award.
