Jordan P. Lewis, Ph.D., is the Associate Director of Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team and Department of Family Medicine and a Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and BioBehavioral Health at the University of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth campus. His expertise is in Indigenous successful aging, rural community health, the role of generativity for healthy aging, and cultural constructions of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.
Over the past decade, Dr. Lewis’s research agenda has significantly contributed to the field with community-based research and discussions on culture-specific approaches to Alaska Native (AN) successful aging and Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) among AN Elders, including the development of a model of AN successful aging, the theory of AN healthy aging, the concept of Indigenous cultural generativity, and cultural understandings and construction of ADRD among AN caregivers. His research has identified indigenous cultural generativity as a critical ingredient to healthy aging, a resilience resource, and has important implications for the wellbeing of Alaska Native and American Indians, including those with ADRD, their caregivers, and family and community members.
