DR. ROGER LANDRY
is a preventive-medicine physician who specializes in building environments that empower older adults to maximize their unique potential.

Trained at Tufts University School of Medicine and Harvard University School of Public Health, he is the president of Masterpiece Living, a group of multidiscipline specialists in aging who partner with communities to assist them in becoming destinations for continued growth.

Dr. Landry was a flight surgeon in the Air Force for over twenty-two years, keeping pilots and other aircrew healthy and performing at their best. One of his charges was world-famous test pilot Chuck Yeager. Dr. Landry retired as a highly decorated full colonel and chief flight surgeon at the Air Force Surgeon General’s Office in Washington, DC, after duty on five continents and being medically involved in a number of significant world events, including Vietnam, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Beirut bombing of the Marine barracks, the first seven shuttle launches, and the first manned balloon crossing of the Pacific.

For the last decade, Dr. Landry has focused his efforts on older adults as a lecturer, researcher, consultant, and author. He lives on Cape Cod.
