Givens Communities Announces Partnership with Buck Institute for Research on Aging

Givens Communities has entered into a partnership with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging to sponsor the Longevity Inspired Vitality Education program for research into practical, everyday strategies for healthier living.

An initiative of Givens Communities Longevity and Brain Health Program, the partnership will provide residents with access to monthly, facilitated master classes. The classes will translate the latest research into clear, actionable guidance focused on brain health, physical function, metabolic resilience, sleep, and overall vitality—areas essential to maintaining independence and quality of life over time.

“The science of aging is advancing rapidly, yet many of its most powerful insights remain inaccessible to those who stand to benefit most,” said Taryn Tindall, director of Givens Communities Longevity and Brain Health Program. “This partnership brings the science of healthy aging out of the laboratory and into everyday life in our communities, where it can meaningfully shape how residents age.”

By making world-class scientific expertise engaging, understandable, and relevant, the program strengthens Givens Communities ongoing commitment to lifelong health, purpose, and independence. It also reflects a broader vision for wellness—one that goes beyond traditional programming to emphasize prevention, resilience, and sustained capability throughout the aging journey.

“This collaboration reflects our conviction that informed individuals, supported by intentional environments, can shape their own course of health and function over time,” Tindall said. “It also underscores our commitment to helping lead the work of extending health span, not just lifespan, for the people we serve.”

Givens Communities remains deeply committed to uplifting and investing in organizations like the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. By aligning philanthropic resources with leading research institutions, Givens Communities helps accelerate the translation of discovery into practical solutions that improve lives today and for generations to come.
