Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has named Hugh C. Hendrie, M.B., Ch.B., D.Sc. of Indiana University and the Regenstrief Institute, to the National Advisory Council on Aging. Hendrie’s appointment extends through December 2013.

Dr. Hendrie, an internationally respected geriatric psychiatrist and health services researcher who has spent 40 years studying the psychiatric issues of aging, is a Regenstrief Institute investigator.

He is also a IU Center for Aging Research scientist focusing on Alzheimer’s disease and depression in older adults.
