Emily Frankel, an Omaha resident with ties to Nance County, needs your help.
Frankel, a doctoral candidate in Gerontology at the University of Nebraska Omaha, is specializing in the study of aging. Her team is conducting a survey to understand how nutrition impacts quality of life and well-being.
Frankel’s mom, the former Janice Peterson, grew up in Fullerton. She is the granddaughter of Raymond and Phyllis Peterson.
“I am passionate about developing programs that support older adults, enabling them to age in place and maintain a high quality of life within their communities,” Frankel said. “In addition to pursuing my doctorate, I work at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, where I manage the Great Plains Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network and lead community engagement, outreach initiatives, and training programs across the state.”
