Abstract: The Center for Healthy Aging is a Santa Monica based organization whose main goal is to provide health advice and counselling
for senior citizens who might otherwise not be able to afford such care. The Center began in 1976 under the name of Senior
Health Peer Counseling; the name was changed to Center for Healthy Aging in 1995. The collection presently contains materials
from the governing board meetings, correspondence of the Center's two executive officers, Bernice Bratter (1976-1985) and
Monika White (1985-the present), some publications, materials relating to grants and to cooperative efforts between the Center
and other charitable organizations on the Westside of Los Angeles.

Copyright has not been assigned to the California Social Welfare Archives. All requests for permission to publish or quote
from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Center for Healthy Aging.
The material was acquired from the Center for Healthy Aging and its Director, Monika White.
The records were received in fairly good order. For the most part, original order was adhered to in creating the archival
files. Exceptions to this rule are to be found mainly in the series dealing with publications, since what there were of these
had to be extracted from other files. Newspaper clippings files were only selectively kept; those that appear in the Los Angeles
Times or other easily available newspapers were not kept. Some photocopies of newsapers were made for preservation purposes.
The Director of the Center has discussed continuing donations of records to the CSWA.

provide a particularly good look at the Center's relationship to its directors and to other organizations.
