Center for Optimal Health Across the Lifespan

The Center for Optimal Health Across the Lifespan, also known as COHL, is an interdisciplinary, collaborative space in the new Cici and Hyatt Brown Hall for Health and Innovation. COHL was born out of Hyatt and Cici Brown’s goal of enhanced health education, and investment into the local community’s health care providing an opportunity to create community outreach experiences. The goal of the center is to promote human flourishing through research, education, training, and easy-access programs for health and wellbeing.

Current and future programs within COHL aim to improve health outcomes throughout West Volusia, provide in-depth, hands-on training for Stetson undergraduate and graduate students, and improve opportunities for our students post-graduation.
